Maximum performance
Sophisticated performance enhancing features deliver the speed you need for demanding applications like photo and video editing and Internet gaming.
No compromises
High performance, high capacity, high reliability, and cutting-edge technology make up WD Black, the ideal drive for those who demand only the best.
Industry-leading warranty
WD Black carries the highest available warranty protection on the market, a 5-year limited warranty.
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 opposed 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 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.
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.
Applications
Power computing applications such as video and photo editing, and maxed out gaming computers.
