Product Features
----------------
High-performance electronics - WD Black drives feature a dual
processor and bigger, faster dynamic cache for maximum read and
write speeds.
Dual processor - Twice the processing power to maximize
performance.
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 traffic as sed to write traffic, the drive
automatically allocates more cache for read data, which reduces
congestion and improves overall drive performance.
Rock-solid mechanical architecture - Enhanced reliability
features help protect the drive and the data stored on it.
NoTouch Ramp Load technology - The head never touches
the disk media ensuring significantly less wear to the
head and media as well as better drive protection in transit.
Srac - The motor shaft is secured at both ends to reduce
system-induced vibration and stabilize platters for accurate
tracking during read and write operations which enables
consistently higher performance. (2 TB and 1.5 TB models only)
Tested for compatibility - We perform tests on hundreds of
systems and a multitude of platforms in our FIT Lab to give our
customers confidence that our drives will work in their systems.
