Built for RAID arrays
The Western Digital RE4 WD2003FYYS is a 2 TB desktop hard drive designed for multi-drive environments such as NAS enclosures and RAID controllers. Its 7200 RPM spindle and 64 MB cache serve workloads that prioritise sustained throughput over burst speed.
Steady throughput under load
The SATA 3.0 Gb/s interface and 7200 RPM rotation deliver consistent sequential transfer rates during long write sessions. The 64 MB buffer absorbs intermittent bursts so that sustained performance does not collapse when the queue deepens.
Thermals and power in normal use
The 3.5 inch form factor provides ample surface area for heat dissipation in ventilated bays. Typical acoustic output remains low during idle and moderate during seek-heavy RAID rebuilds, while power draw stays within standard SATA limits.

Questions about this item
How loud and hot does the WD RE4 WD2003FYYS get during continuous 7200 RPM operation?
The drive spins at 7200 RPM with a 64MB cache on a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface; typical desktop drives at this speed produce audible seek noise and warm to the touch under sustained load.
Which cables and host connector does the WD RE4 WD2003FYYS need to work?
It requires a standard SATA data cable and a SATA power connector from the power supply, plus a free 3.5-inch drive bay or mounting bracket in the chassis.
Will the WD RE4 WD2003FYYS work alongside an older SATA 1.5Gb/s controller?
Yes, the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface negotiates down to 1.5Gb/s automatically, so the drive remains usable on legacy motherboards or RAID cards.
