Key Features
High Performance
Electronics Architecture
Dual processor - Twice the
processing power to maximize performance.
Colossal cache - Bigger, faster
cache of up to 64 MB means faster performance.
Rock Solid
Mechanical Architecture
Dual actuator technology - A head
positioning system with two actuators that improves positional accuracy over
the data track(s). The primary actuator provides coarse displacement using
conventional electromagnetic actuator principles. The secondary actuator
uses piezoelectric motion to fine tune the head positioning to a higher
degree of accuracy. (2 TB only)
StableTrac - The motor shaft is
secured at both ends to reduce system-induced vibration and stabilize
platters for accurate tracking, during read and write operations.
NoTouch ramp load technology - The
recording head never touches the disk media ensuring significantly less wear
to the recording head and media as well as better drive protection in
transit.
Massive Capacity
- WD Caviar Black SATA drives are available in capacities
up to 2 TB.
Compatible
- We perform tests on hundreds of systems and a multitude of platforms in
our FIT Lab™ and Mobile Compatibility Lab to give our customers confidence
that our drives will work in their systems.
5 Year Limited
Warranty
Ideal For
Power computing applications such as multimedia, video and photo editing, and
maxed out gaming computers.
