Desktop-class performance
for notebook computers
With 7200 RPM spin speed,16 MB
cache, and capacities up to
750 GB, these drives enable you to
have the best of both worlds: the
capacity and performance of a
desktop PC with the convenience
and portability of a notebook.
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
non-operational shock tolerance.
Massive capacity
WD’s 750 GB 2.5-inch drives offer
huge capacity for space-hungry
operating systems with plenty of
room left over for photos, music,
and video.
Low power consumption
With technologies like IntelliSeek™,
which calculates optimum seek
speeds to lower power
consumption and SecurePark™,
which reduces power by parking
the heads during low power idle
mode, this drive delivers
5400 RPM-equivalent power
consumption in a 7200 RPM drive.
Tested for compatibility
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.
Advanced Format (AF)
Technology being adopted by WD
and other drive manufacturers as
one of multiple ways to continue
growing hard drive capacities. AF is
a more efficient media format that
enables increased areal densities.
(BPKT models only)
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.

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.
