The Western Digital WD1600YS (build WD1600YS-18 SHB2) is a 160GB enterprise-class SATA hard disk drive from Western Digital’s RE (RAID Edition) range, built for server and storage-array duty cycles with the vibration tolerance and error-recovery behaviour that RAID environments require, unlike consumer-grade drives. Drives of this generation and capacity remain in service on established server and storage deployments, and a genuine like-for-like replacement is the routine fix for restoring array redundancy after a drive failure, since matching an array’s existing drive generation avoids introducing a firmware or timing mismatch. Specifiers should confirm exact compatibility against their specific storage array or server before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) keeps Western Digital drives in stock for ongoing maintenance and expansion projects.
