Product Description
An enterprise-class internal hard drive, this Western Digital 1 TB hard drive combines a 32 MB cache and a SATA interface with a transfer rate of 3 GBps to deliver fast processing and high-performance in high-stress environments. The Western Digital RE3 features dual-processor technology that delivers a sizable performance increase over previous iterations of this internal hard drive. Furthermore, Rotary Acceleration Feed Forwarding technology allows this Western Digital 1 TB hard drive to maintain stability and perform well in high-vibration environments. The chance of a drive fallout on this Western Digital 1 TB hard drive is significantly reduced by the time-limited error recovery (TLER) technology on the Western Digital RE3, which reduces processing time during error recovery. This Western Digital 1 TB hard drive has also been subjected to thermal extended burn-in testing, helping to ensure it continues to operate under high-temperature, always-on conditions.

It would be fine. It certainly meets AVID's standards.

A lot of people I know in the UK are using Avastor:

They've never been available in Australia.
I contacted them a couple of years ago and asked if they would distribute to Australia, but they said they couldn't persuade anyone to stock them over here.
