Western Digital Caviar Black 2 TB Internal Hard Drive

WD Caviar Black 3.5-inch SATA hard drives are designed for high-performance in demanding desktop, workstation, and multi-drive systems. Featuring a 7200 RPM spin speed, 32 MB or 64 MB cache, and a SATA 3 Gb/s interface, these drives deliver lightning-fast performance. Backed by a 5-year limited warranty, the mechanical architecture and reliability features help protect the drive and the data stored on it.

With up to 2 TB of capacity, WD Caviar Black drives provide ample space to store massive amounts of photos, videos, and files. Equipped with an integrated dual processor, these drives leverage dual actuator technology to maximize performance, crushing the competition in the PCMark Vantage Total Score benchmark.

The SATA 6 Gb/s interface offers twice the speed of legacy standards, while the dual processor doubles the processing power to optimize performance. WD's dynamic caching algorithm further enhances drive performance by intelligently allocating cache between reads and writes based on real-time usage patterns.

Designed for enhanced durability, WD Caviar Black drives feature NoTouch ramp load technology, where the recording head never touches the disk media, reducing wear and improving protection during transit. StableTrac secures the motor shaft at both ends to minimize system-induced vibration, stabilizing the platters for accurate tracking during read and write operations.

WD Caviar Black hard drives are tested and recommended for consumer-type RAID applications, such as RAID-0 and RAID-1. However, for business-critical RAID environments utilizing enterprise hardware, WD recommends their specialized Enterprise-class hard drives, which are designed and tested for 24/7 operation and include features like time-limited error recovery (TLER) and enhanced RAFF technology.

Upgrading to a WD Caviar Black drive is made easy with the free WD Acronis TrueImage software, which enables cloning your existing data to the new drive without the need to reinstall your operating system.

WD puts their products through extensive Functional Integrity Testing, with each new drive undergoing 600,000 hours of testing on average. Additionally, the company provides a detailed Knowledge Base and toll-free support, ensuring a comprehensive customer experience.

All WD drives purchased from Amazon.com are shipped in WD-certified packaging, designed and fully tested to provide the highest level of protection during transit. With WD-certified packaging, you can rest assured that your new drive will arrive safely and ready for installation.

WD Caviar Black hard drives are compatible with Windows 7/Vista/XP/2000, Mac, and Linux operating systems, making them a versatile solution for a wide range of desktop, workstation, and multi-drive applications.
