Note: Not all products may be
available in all regions of the
world.
Cache
WD Caviar Blue is available in 8, 16,
and 32 MB cache sizes. Bigger
cache memory yields faster
performance.
Quiet
The technology that Tom's
Hardware Guide called "very fast
and nearly silent" is used
throughout this family of drives. Our
WhisperDrive™ technology
minimizes noise to levels near the
threshold of human hearing. To cut
seek noise, SoftSeek™ technology
streamlines read/write seeking
algorithms, resulting in more
efficient operation.
Capacity
We offer drives ranging from 80 GB
to 1 TB. Pick the biggest capacity
your budget will allow. You can
never have too much storage
space.
Compatible
We perform tests on hundreds of
systems and a multitude of
platforms in our FIT Lab™ and
Mobile Compatibility Lab to give our
customers confidence that our
drives will work in their systems.
Reliability
We understand the importance of
your data, and we are committed to
protecting that data with
exceptionally reliable products,
advanced data protection
technology and superior customer
support.
Cool
Keeping the drive cool enhances
reliability. WD continues to develop
new and innovative ways to keep
drives cool while they are operating.

1As used for storage capacity, one megabyte (MB) = one million bytes, one gigabyte (GB) = one billion bytes, and one terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending on operating environment. As used for buffer or cache, one megabyte (MB) = 1,048,576
bytes. As used for transfer rate or interface, megabyte per second (MB/s) = one million bytes per second, and gigabit per second (Gb/s) = one billion bits per second. Effective maximum SATA 3 Gb/s transfer rate calculated according to the Serial ATA specification published by the
SATA-IO organization as of the date of this specification sheet. Visit www.sata-io.org for details.
