The Hard Drive Inside
Unique Features for
SATA Hard Drives
For more than seventeen years, award-winning WD hard
drives have helped people collect, manage, and use digital
information. We make the hard drives found in millions
of PCs bearing the labels of the world's leading PC
producers. You'll find our drives in a host of servers that
provide massive storage for businesses and online services.
We also make the drives in notebook computers, gaming
consoles, personal video recorders, set-top boxes, and
other popular consumer electronics products.
PC, server, and consumer electronics manufacturers, our
biggest customers and our toughest critics, insist on the
highest standards of quality, reliability, and customer
service. Because we unfailingly meet those standards, we
have become the second largest drive manufacturer in
the world.
We know a lot about the need for reliable and responsive
information storage, both at home and on the job. So we
are building our hard drives bigger and faster, and
equipping them with features to make them ever more
reliable and user-friendly.

SecureConnect SATA Cable
Model WDSC50RCW
• SecureConnect™ – provides a 500 percent stronger
cable-to-drive connection than first-generation
SATA hard drives and cables; ensures backward
compatibility with legacy SATA cables and

WD’s Commitment to Quality and Data Integrity
WD understands the importance of the data stored on
our hard drives. We are committed to providing our
customers with reliable, high-performance storage
products and superior customer service. The WD
commitment is carried out in features such as our
exclusive Data Lifeguard hardware features, software
utilities, and services that provide the highest level of
data protection available on a hard drive today.
Shock Guard
™
prevents damage to internal components
of the drive during shipping and handling and in daily
operation. Shock Guard allows instantaneous data
protection at high shock values to achieve operating
shock specifications as high as 300 Gs.
ShockShield™provides double protection from rough
handling and static damage. Wrapped in a static
protection envelope and securely packed in a plastic case,
this protective pack provides 30 percent more protection
from shock damage than Seagate’s SeaShell pack.
Environmental Protection Filters help protect the inside
of the hard drive from damaging humidity, extreme
temperature, and contamination.
Protective Head Parking adds another layer of protection
to auto-park by safely parking the heads even if other
system components lose functionality.
Data Lifeguard
Environmental
Data Lifeguard Tools™software utilities easily partition
and format new hard drives, overcome operating system
and BIOS limitations, quickly and safely copy the
contents of an existing hard drive onto a new hard drive,
and can diagnose and repair many drive problems that
may arise. Ships with retail-packaged drives and is
available online.
S.M.A.R.T. monitors hard drive operation to predict
errors before data loss can occur.
Online Diagnostic Service provides an easy method to
physically test the health of a hard drive installed in a
system without the need to create a bootable diskette or
reboot the system.
Installation and Diagnostics
Data Lifeguard Protection
Data Integrity
7 8
Embedded Error Detection and Repair features
automatically find, isolate, and repair problem areas that
may develop over the extended use of the hard drive.
Error Correction Code (ECC) performs on the fly to
detect and correct errors as data is read and written.
Rotary Acceleration Feed Forward (RAFF™) optimizes
operation and performance when drives are used in
vibration-prone, multi-drive systems such as rackmounted servers. (Available on most enterprise-class WD drives.)
Time-Limited Error Recovery (TLER) improves
compatibility with RAID adapters; prevents drive fallout
caused by the extended hard drive error-recovery
processes common to desktop hard drives.
(Available on most enterprise-class WD drives.)
DuraStep Ramp™technology locks the heads off the
data disk to provide additional shock protection. Using
the most technologically advanced material available, the
drive is able to perform a minimum of 600,000 cycles
without contamination – up to twice the performance of
its competitors. (Available only on WD’s mobile hard drives.)
