•

WhisperDrive™ combines state-of-the-art seeking algorithms
to yield one of the quietest 2.5-inch hard drives on the market.
These algorithms also optimize the way a drive seeks for data,
which significantly improves power consumption. So now
silence (and longer battery life) is golden.

Reliable and rugged — WD’s ShockGuard™ technology

protects the drive mechanics and platter surfaces from shocks.
WD’s SecurePark™ parks the recording heads off the disk
surface during spin up, spin down, and when the drive is off.
This ensures the recording head never touches the disk surface
resulting in improved long-term reliability due to less head wear,
and improved non-operational shock tolerance.
