Capacities and Models
Featuring WD’s Exclusive Intelligent Drive Technology
• Quiet – In a notebook drive, silence is golden. WD’s exclusive
WhisperDrive™combines state-of-the-art seeking algorithms to yield
one of the quietest 2.5-inch hard drives on the market.
• Reliable and rugged – WD’s ShockGuard™technology protects the
drive mechanics and platter surfaces from shocks during shipping and
handling and in daily operation.
WD’s SecurePark parks the recording heads off the disk surface during
spin up, spin down and when the drive is off. This ensures the recording
head never touches the disk surface resulting in improved long-term
reliability due to less head wear and improved shock tolerance.
• Free-fall sensor – As an added layer of protection, if the drive (or the
system it’s in) is dropped while in use, WD’s free-fall sensor detects
that the drive is falling and, in less than 200 milliseconds, parks the
head to help prevent damage and data loss. (Available on WDxxxxBJKT
models only)
• Compatible – We perform tests on hundreds of systems and a multitude
of platforms in our FIT Lab™and Mobile Compatibility Lab to give WD
customers confidence that our drives will work in their systems.
