These drives are built with features that address the unique requirements of cold data archiving, including WD's innovative Progressive Capacity, an energy-efficient design, long life cycle TCO and competitive dollars per gigabyte. ## Features - Energy efficient - Reduced media spin lowers power consumption and optimizes the drive's read/write ratio for the rigid requirements of cold storage systems. - With 700PB's of cold storage deployed in datacenters already, WD's 4th generation WD Ae drive utilizes innovative technology to reduce power consumption and lower operating temperature, which results in a more reliable solution for data archives. - Cost-effective capacity storage - Moving cold data to value-optimized archive media delivers significant TCO savings by freeing up expensive performance-critical storage system capacity. - As technology and manufacturing processes mature, incremental capacity increases are realized. WD's innovative Progressive Capacity model allows distribution of these incrementally higher capacity models, taking advantage of their full capacity. - Cold data power management - Competitive power management, reduced heat output, and next generation technologies such as Intelli Seek combine to deliver a balance of performance and power perfect for cold data archive storage architectures. - The spin-down capability of the WD Ae drive provides much faster access times than conventional archive tape with data access times of less than 20 seconds for on-demand data requests. - A head-positioning system with two actuators improves positional accuracy over the data track(s). The primary actuator provides coarse displacement, the secondary actuator fine tunes the head positioning to a higher degree of accuracy. - 24x7 dedicated customer support - Every WD Ae hard drive comes with our world-class professional support services including a dedicated 24x7 support line (available in English, other regional support hours vary) and a 3-year limited warranty. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Hard Drive | 6 TB Mechanical Hard Disk | | Brand | WD | | Series | Ae | | Item model number | WD6001F4PZ | | Hardware Platform | PC | | Item Weight | 1.58 pounds | | Product Dimensions | 5.79 x 4 x 1.03 inches | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 5.79 x 4 x 1.03 inches | | Color | Silver | | Flash Memory Size | 6 | | Hard Drive Interface | Serial ATA-600 | | Manufacturer | Western Digital Bare Drives | | ASIN | B00X2YO90I | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Date First Available | May 3, 2015 | ## Product Details - **Digital Storage Capacity:** 6 TB - **Hard Disk Interface:** Serial ATA-600 - **Connectivity Technology:** SATA - **Brand:** WD - **Special Feature:** Portable - **Hard Disk Form Factor:** 3.5 Inches - **Hard Disk Description:** Mechanical Hard Disk - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop - **Installation Type:** Internal Hard Drive - **Color:** Silver ## Images ![WD 6TB 3.5" AE Datacenter Archive SATA III 64 MB Cache Enterprise Hard Drive (WD6001F4PZ) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81YZTkXBTML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super Drive for Super Price *by J***5 on November 29, 2017* Drives work great. Super for backup storage. Save some electricity and buy these drives for cold storage. ### ⭐ FAILED AFTER 3 MONTHS *by B***N on March 4, 2019* I'll never buy another Western digital hard drive again! Failed after 3 months of use. I lost 120,000 scanned photos!!!! ### ⭐⭐ Not holding up over time. *by S***H on February 5, 2020* I put 4 into a NAS box for a backup device. Still under warranty, and they do seem inclined to honor that. But 2 of them have started to throw bad sectors at a steadily increasing rate. They are about 2.5 years old. It's not unheard of, but that's a high failure rate for a drive that I'm way over-paying on capacity for that warranty, basically. At this point, I can get much cheaper alternatives and literally buy more of them for less than this "enterprise" solution costs, and evidently there is nothing special about the reliability of these drives. Why buy a warranty when I can literally just buy another drive for less, keep it on-hand, and swap it in immediately when I need to? Especially if the non-"enterprise" drives will, for my small sample size, hold up at least as well anyway.UPDATE: After 4 years, one of them died hard. A second died during RAID10 rebuild after I replaced it. I reviewed the Backblaze data, and am going with another brand, and not bothering with any sort of "enterprise" designation. ## Frequently Bought Together - WD 6TB 3.5" AE Datacenter Archive SATA III 64 MB Cache Enterprise Hard Drive (WD6001F4PZ) - SAMSUNG 870 EVO SATA III SSD 1TB 2.5” Internal Solid State Drive, Upgrade PC or Laptop Memory and Storage for IT Pros, Creators, Everyday Users, MZ-77E1T0B/AM - Seagate IronWolf 8TB NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200 RPM 256MB Cache for RAID Network Attached Storage – Frustration Free Packaging (ST8000VNZ04/N004) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/16595412-wd-6tb-3-5-ae-datacenter-archive-sata-iii-64](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/16595412-wd-6tb-3-5-ae-datacenter-archive-sata-iii-64) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-10-01*
