WD Gold is ideal for protecting and storing confidential customer information, medical records, and other data.

Western Digital has further strengthened its WD Gold HDD lineup with the launch of the WD Gold 12TB, an HDD optimized for demanding enterprise workloads. The WD Gold 12TB is a reliable and efficient storage solution for rapidly growing corporate data needs, including a variety of enterprise and cloud storage applications.

WD Gold offers the optimal storage solution for protecting and storing a variety of corporate data, including confidential customer information, medical records, and business intelligence. Designed specifically to securely store a company's most critical data, WD Gold is purpose-built for demanding and vibration-intensive server environments. With a mean time between failures (MTBF) rating of 2.5 million hours, it boasts the highest reliability rating in WD's HDD portfolio. By applying Western Digital's patented 4th generation 'HelioSeal' process that minimizes internal resistance with helium, which has a density of 1/7 of air, we have maximized stability and power efficiency while increasing capacity.

“Securing and leveraging exponentially growing amounts of data to gain valuable insights is becoming a critical capability for businesses,” said Brendan Collins, vice president of Western Digital’s Devices Business Unit. “Companies that are able to most effectively extract value from their data will be able to make smarter decisions, improve business performance, and ultimately gain a competitive advantage.”
