WD Caviar Black

WD Caviar Black drives combine a high performance electronics architecture with a rock solid mechanical architecture to deliver the perfect storage solution for your fully-loaded PC or maxed out gaming machine. Cool drive operation, no-touch head technology, and leading-edge vibration protection ensure enhanced reliability and sustained data throughput. And we back it all up with a 5-year limited warranty.

Key Features

High Performance Electronics Architecture
Dual processor
  • Twice the processing power to maximize performance.
Colossal cache
  • Bigger, faster cache of up to 64 MB means faster performance.

Rock Solid Mechanical Architecture

Dual actuator technology
  • A head positioning system with two actuators that improves positional accuracy over the data track(s). The primary actuator provides coarse displacement using conventional electromagnetic actuator principles. The secondary actuator uses piezoelectric motion to fine tune the head positioning to a higher degree of accuracy. (2 TB only)
StableTrac
  • The motor shaft is secured at both ends to reduce system-induced vibration and stabilize platters for accurate tracking, during read and write operations.
NoTouch ramp load technology
  • The recording head never touches the disk media ensuring significantly less wear to the recording head and media as well as better drive protection in transit.
Massive Capacity
  • WD Caviar Black SATA drives are available in capacities
up to 2 TB.
Compatible
  • We perform tests on hundreds of systems and a multitude of platforms in our FIT Labâ„¢ and Mobile Compatibility Lab to give our customers confidence that our drives will work in their systems.
Ideal For
  • Power computing applications such as multimedia, video and photo editing, and maxed out gaming computers.

Strengths: large storage size, easy to install and forget
i love this
really fast and never gives me a problem, well worth going for the black range. it is a little bit noisy in my pc, but nothing that really troubles me. have put in a few particians and everything is quick and easy to find. was a bit concerned initially about purchasing a 1tb version, incase it went belly up and i lost everything, but those fears have evaporated, it seems very stable.
