Product Features
StableTrac™
Motor shaft afxed to the baseplate
and top cover stabilizes platters for
accurate tracking during read and
write operations, yielding higher
drive data throughput in harsh
shock and vibration environments.
Supporting the top cover with the
shaft also increases robustness
to pinch forces. (WD5000MPCK
model only).
Available SATA 6 Gb/s interface
The SATA 6 Gb/s interface provides
greater exibility for use with the
latest chipsets as well as backwards
compatibility to legacy systems with
SATA 3 Gb/s requirements. (xPVX,
and xPCX models only).
NoTouch™ Ramp Load Technology
The recording head never touches
the disk media ensuring signicantly
less wear to the recording head
and media as well as better drive
protection in transit.

Applications
WD Blue hard drives are tested and recommended for use in notebooks and external enclosures.*
* WD hard drives are designed and tested for use in specic applications and environments. This ensures that your hard drive is compatible with and functions properly in your application. Our
hard drives are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship in the system for which they were designed. Use in systems other than for what the hard drive was designed could
result in compatibility problems that affect proper function, unrelated to material and/or workmanship defects. For best results, be sure to select the appropriate product for your application
by consulting our product spec sheets on our website at www.wd.com or by calling our customer support line where we would be happy to help you through the selection process.

As used for storage capacity, one megabyte (MB) = one million bytes, one gigabyte (GB) = one billion bytes, and one terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending on operating environment. As used for buffer or cache, one megabyte (MB) = 1,048,576 bytes. As used for transfer
rate or interface, megabyte per second (MB/s) = one million bytes per second, and gigabit per second (Gb/s) = one billion bits per second. Effective maximum SATA 3 Gb/s transfer rate calculated according to the Serial ATA specication published by the SATA-IO organization as of the date of this specication
sheet. Visit www.sata-io.org for details.
