quality and reliability, these drives
offer the features and capacity ideal
for your everyday computing needs.
Available SATA 6 Gb/s interface
The SATA 6 Gb/s interface provides
greater exibility for use with the
latest operating systems as well
as backwards compatibility to
legacy systems with SATA 3 Gb/s
requirements. (xPVX, xPCX, and
MPCK models only).
Upgrading your drive is easy
Acronis® True Image™ WD Edition
Software, available as a free
download on the WD Support site,
enables you to copy all your data
to a new drive so you don’t have to
reinstall your operating system to get
all the benets of a new drive.
Compatible
Our latest generation of 7 mm
2.5-inch mobile drives is designed
for thin and light mobile applications,
and is also compatible with most
standard 9.5 mm bays. (xPCX, LPVT,
and LPVX models only).
Applications
ROTATIONAL SPEED
5400 RPM
Note: Not all products may
be available in all regions of
the world.
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).
Dual actuator technology
A head positioning system with two
actuators that improves
positional accuracy over the data
track(s). (WD5000MPCK model 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.
CAPACITIES
250 GB to 1 TB
WD Blue hard drives are tested and recommended for use in notebooks, netbooks 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.
The WD Advantage
WD puts our products through extensive Functional Integrity Testing (F.I.T.) prior to any product launch. This testing ensures our products consistently meet the
highest quality and reliability standards of the WD brand. WD also has a detailed Knowledge Base with more than 1,000 helpful articles as well as helpful software
and utilities. Our customer support lines have longer operational hours to ensure you get the help you need when you need it. Our toll-free customer support lines

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.
