Western Digital offers premium storage solutions for all applications

When looking for your storage solutions, you can hardly avoid the manufacturer Western Digital (WD for short). With its broad product range of different hard disks and other storage media, the Californian company has firmly positioned itself on the global electronics market. In 2020, Western Digital achieved a turnover of 16.74 billion US dollars. With around 63,800 employees, the storage manufacturer is one of the largest companies in the IT industry worldwide. As a hardware wholesaler, we stock a comprehensive range of different, up-to-date WD storage media.

 

The right hard disk for every purpose

A conventional mechanical hard disk drive (also known as a “hard disk drive” or “HDD” for short) is still the undisputed first choice for securely storing large amounts of data in the range of several terabytes. Especially from a price-performance point of view. The range of different HDDs from the US storage manufacturer is just as diverse as the requirements for hard disks. WD offers hard disks with storage capacities of up to 18 terabytes per HDD. To make it as easy as possible for the end user to distinguish between the different types of HDDs, WD has decided to use a memorable color coding system for the majority of its HDDs. Our dedicated staff will be happy to advise you on your choice.

You can also find out in detail in our blog articles what you should look out for when buying a hard drive and whether an SSD or HDD hard drive is right for you.

 

WD Blue - the all-rounder HDD hard drive

The Blue series stands out as a real all-rounder and strikes a very pleasant balance between performance, noise levels, energy requirements and price. This makes it suitable for all standard PC systems that do not place extreme demands on the aforementioned properties.

 

WD Green - the economical storage solution

The WD Green is primarily optimized for economy and quiet operation. Thanks to its low speed of 5400 rpm, it is particularly quiet and energy-efficient, making it an ideal hard disk for office PCs.

 

WD Black - the high-performance storage

When it comes to maximum performance, the WD Black is the best choice. It is designed for maximum performance to ensure short loading and access times for your data.

 

WD Purple - the monitoring HDD

The storage manufacturer has launched the Purple series especially for NVR and DVR surveillance systems. These HDDs are optimized for multiple simultaneous write operations. For example, up to 64 cameras can store their data on one hard disk at the same time.

 

WD Red - the network storage

The WD Red is designed for use as network storage (NAS) that can be accessed around the clock. It is therefore naturally suitable for continuous operation. In addition to the “Plus” models for simple NAS configurations, WD also offers “Pro” models. These stand out from the “Plus” HDDs thanks to their extended warranty periods and better failure rates.

 

WD Gold - the best HDD hard drive

With the Gold series, WD has launched models on the market that are often referred to as the best WD HDD. The Gold models are primarily intended for professional use in data centers and servers. They are particularly powerful thanks to a high rotational speed of 7200 rpm. Thanks to a special helium filling inside, they are also very energy-efficient. Thanks to the CMR recording process, they are also ideally suited for use in a RAID array.

 

SSDs give your system a performance boost

In contrast to mechanical HDDs, SSDs (Solid State Drives) have no mechanical components. This makes them more robust against external influences such as vibrations. They also stand out from conventional hard disks due to their significantly lower access times and higher data transfer rates. Their performance far exceeds that of an HDD.

Western Digital remains true to its classification of different models in the form of color coding. Our experts will be happy to work with you to find out which SSD is best for you.

 

WD Green - the affordable SSD memory

The WD Green is available in storage capacities from 120 gigabytes to 1 terabyte, both in 2.5-inch and M.2 format.
It impresses with its very attractive price and is therefore ideal for office computers, for example.

 

WD Blue - outstanding performance in all situations

With the WD Blue, the storage manufacturer has a product line in its range that, unlike the WD Green, is not only available as a SATA version, but also as an NVMe version.This allows read speeds of up to 2400 MB/s to be achieved.The WD Blue is also available as a 2.5-inch or M.2 SSD. The storage capacity ranges from 250 gigabytes to 1 terabyte (NVMe) or 4 terabytes (SATA).

 

WD Red - top performance in the NAS

Like the Red HDDs, the SSDs in the Red series are optimized for use as network storage and offer a generous storage volume with storage capacities from 500 gigabytes to 4 terabytes.The SSDs integrated via SATA are available as M.2 modules or 2.5-inch SSDs and offer a five-year warranty.

 

WD Black - the SSD for power users
The WD Black is ideal for pushing your system to the absolute performance limit.Available in storage sizes from 250 gigabytes to 2 terabytes, the NVMe SSDs communicate via PCIe 3.0 and allow write and read rates of 2900 and 3400 MB/s respectively.This makes the WD Black the first choice if maximum performance is your top priority.

 

External storage solutions for maximum flexibility

In addition to internal HDDs and SSDs, the US manufacturer also offers various external storage solutions. As an online retailer for Western Digital, we naturally also have many of these storage products in our range.

 

External hard drives in book format

Under the name “My Book”, WD sells high-quality external hard drives in the format of a standard book. A WD My Book is available with storage capacities between 4 and 18 terabytes and, in addition to the pure storage volume, also offers backup solutions via the “WD Backup” software and password protection. If 18 terabytes of storage is not enough for you, you can opt for the “My Book Duo” models with up to 36 terabytes of storage. The WD My Book Duo contains two hard disks that can be configured either in Raid 0 for faster data transfer rates or in Raid 1 for data mirroring. Both models can be connected to a computer via USB 2.0 or USB 3.0.

 

Personal cloud and network storage

Would you like to make your data available in your network and not rely on a cloud solution outside your network?
Then take advantage of WD's comprehensive cloud offering. The simple “My Cloud Home” is mainly intended for private applications or small businesses. The My Cloud Home Dou offers slightly more storage (up to 20 terabytes).

For professional applications, WD offers the My Cloud Expert Series with two hard disks and up to 28 terabytes of storage capacity.There is also the My Cloud Pro Series with a maximum of four hard disks and up to 56 terabytes of storage capacity.

 

Fast on the move everywhere with external SSDs

With storage capacities between 500 gigabytes and 4 terabytes, you are well equipped at all times and everywhere.To prevent data theft, your data is securely protected from unauthorized access using 256-bit AES hardware encryption.
