impact on throughput speed.

• WD Black™ internal with 7200 RPM –

A preferred drive of creative professionals,

handled within the drive, data bottlenecks are
reduced and throughput is improved.

daisy chain for optimized single-cable workow
with 4K monitors, additional storage devices
and peripherals.
