This WD SATA drive combines up to 16 MB cache and 6 Gbps transfer rate for lightning-fast performance and cool, quiet operation. WD's IntelliSeek technology calculates the optimum seek speeds to lower power consumption, noise and vibration. And to increase reliability, NoTouch parks the recording head off the drive surface during spin up, spin down and when the drive is off to ensure the head never touches the disk surface.
WD's rugged and reliable hard drives are designed and manufactured to the highest standards of quality and reliability. Built to last, this SATA hard drive is made for years of cool running, high-performance operation around the clock. Before shipping, every drive undergoes over 200 rigorous tests to ensure functionality and compatibility.
