Product Features
Maximum performance
Sophisticated performance
enhancing features deliver the speed
you need for demanding applications
like photo and video editing and
Internet gaming.
No compromises
High performance, high capacity,
high reliability, and cutting-edge
technology make up WD Black, the
ideal drive for those who demand
only the best.
Industry-leading warranty
WD Black carries the highest
available warranty protection on the
market, a 5-year limited warranty.
Dual processor
Twice the processing power to
maximize performance.
Dynamic cache
WD’s dynamic caching algorithm
improves performance in real time by
optimizing cache allocation between
reads and writes. For example, if
there’s an overwhelming percentage
of read trafc as opposed to write
trafc, the drive automatically
allocates more cache for read data,
which reduces congestion and
improves overall drive performance.
Rock-solid mechanical
architecture
Enhanced reliability features help
protect the drive and the data stored
on it.
NoTouch
ramp load
technology
The recording head never touches
the disk media ensuring signicantly
less wear to the recording head
and media as well as better drive
protection in transit.
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 which enables
consistently higher performance.
(4 TB, 3 TB and 2 TB models only)
