Product Benefits
Lightning Fast – With state-of-the-art SATA 300 MB/s transfer rates and 8 MB cache, these drives push the boundaries of performance for their class.
Cool Running – Cool drive operating temperatures help increase long-term drive reliability. WD achieves the lowest operating temperature of any hard drive in its class, including slower drives spinning at 5,400 RPM, by lowering power consumption through advanced electronics and firmware.
Ultra Quiet – WD minimizes noise to levels virtually below the threshold of human hearing with its WhisperDrive™ technology, which features a highly efficient power driver design. And to cut seek noise, Soft Seek™ technology streamlines read/write seeking algorithms.
SecureConnect™ – provides a 500 percent stronger cable-to-drive connection than first-generation SATA hard drives and cables. Also ensures backward compatibility with legacy SATA cables and backplanes.
FlexPower™ – connector technology that accepts power from both industry-standard and new SATA power supplies.
Data Protection Enhancements
- Data Lifeguard™ is an expanded set of data protection features that include shock protection, an environmental protection system, and embedded error detection and repair features that automatically find, isolate, and repair problem areas that may develop over the extended use of the hard drive.
- Data Lifeguard Tools™ is a set of software utilities that work in conjunction with the embedded Data Lifeguard features to make hard drive installation, drive management diagnostics, and repair simple and worry-free.
- Shock Guard™ provides outstanding improvements in shock and vibration protection for WD Caviar SE drives. Shock Guard allows instantaneous data protection at high shock values to achieve leading shock specifications.
Recommended: Western Digitals Serial ATA cable with SecureConnect™ provides a 500 percent stronger cable-to-drive connection than first-generation SATA hard drives and cables; for use with Western Digital SATA drives only.
