Western Digital RE 250GB SATA 3Gb/s 7200RPM 3.5-inch Enterprise HDD — WD2500YS

The Western Digital RE WD2500YS is a 250GB enterprise-grade 3.5-inch SATA 3Gb/s hard drive spinning at 7200RPM with 16MB cache. Part of WD's RE (RAID Edition) series, it is designed for 24/7 continuous operation in RAID arrays, NAS systems, and enterprise servers. RAID-specific error recovery controls (TLER) prevent RAID controller timeouts during error recovery — a critical feature for reliable RAID array operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is TLER and why does it matter for RAID?
TLER (Time-Limited Error Recovery) limits the drive's error recovery time to prevent RAID controllers from dropping the drive during error recovery — a common cause of RAID array failures with desktop drives.
Can I use this drive in a desktop PC?
Yes — the WD2500YS works in desktop PCs, but its enterprise features (TLER, 24/7 rating) are primarily beneficial in RAID and server environments.
Is SATA 3Gb/s compatible with SATA 6Gb/s ports?
Yes — SATA 3Gb/s drives are backward compatible with SATA 6Gb/s ports, operating at 3Gb/s speeds.
