Product Features

SATA 6 Gb/s interface

The SATA 6 Gb/s interface provides greater flexibility for use with the latest chipsets as well as backwards compatibility to legacy systems with SATA 3 Gb/s requirements.

NoTouch™ Ramp Load Technology

The recording head never touches the disk media ensuring significantly less wear to the recording head and media as well

as better drive protection in transit.

The Original

WD Blue drives are designed and manufactured with the proven technology found in WD’s original award-winning hard drives.

WD Quality

Built to the high standards of quality and reliability of the WD brand, these drives offer the features and capacity ideal for your everyday computing needs.

Low Power Consumption

State-of-the-art seeking algorithms and advanced power management features help ensure low power consumption.

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 benefits 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 (SPZX, LPCX, and LPVX models only).

Quiet

In a notebook drive, silence is golden. WD’s exclusive noise reducing technologies yield some of the quietest 2.5-inch hard drives on the market.

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 specific applications and environments. This helps ensure 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 6 Gb/s transfer rate calculated according to the Serial ATA specification published by the SATA-IO organization as of the date of this specification
