Product Features
Maximum performance
Sophisticated performance
enhancing features deliver the speed
you need for demanding applications
like photo and video editing and
Internet gaming.

high reliability, and cutting-edge

Applications
HEIGHT
7 mm to 9.5 mm
Performance just got thinner
Built on a solid, proven platform and
designed for thin and light mobile
applications, our latest generation
of 7 mm 2.5-inch drives come with
a SATA 6 Gb/s interface, feature
impressive shock tolerance and are
compatible with most standard
9.5 mm drive bays.
Industry-leading warranty
WD Black carries the highest
available warranty protection on the
market, a 5-year limited warranty.
ROTATIONAL SPEED
7200 RPM
Dynamic cache
WD’s dynamic caching algorithm
improves performance in real time by
optimizing cache allocation between
reads and writes. For example, if
there’s an overwhelming percentage
of read trafc as opposed to write
trafc, the drive automatically
allocates more cache for read data,
which reduces congestion and
improves overall drive performance.
CAPACITIES
160 GB to 750 GB
Efcient dual processing
When it comes to processing power,
more is always better. WD Black
features a dual-core processor that
offers twice the processing capability
as a single-core processor to
maximize drive performance for faster
read and write speeds.
WD Black hard drives are performance-tested for use in PCs, Mac, notebook PCs, commercial notebooks, All-in-One PCs, small form factor PCs, and gaming
consoles.*
* 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.wdc.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 specication published by the SATA-IO organization as of the date of this specication sheet. Visit www.
sata-io.org for details.
