  • Great Things Come in Small Packages - WD Black 2.5-inch PC Hard Drives are designed to enhance your PC experience, whether at home in your new all-in-one desktop, or on-the-go in your trusty notebook. With up to 1TB of storage running at 7200 RPM, you get an extremely fast high-capacity mobile hard drive, offering the perfect storage solution for a digital artist, video editor, photographer, or gamer. Backed by an industry leading 5-year limited warranty, WD Black 2.5-inch Hard Drives combine performance and capacity with the reliability of a brand you can trust.
  • For Creative Professionals - Give yourself the room to bring your enormous digital portfolio wherever you’re at with WD Black 2.5-inch PC Hard Drives. With up to 1TB of 7200 RPM-Class high performance storage, WD Black 2.5-inch Hard Drives give you the power to create while on the go, so you can offload, edit, and shoot without fear of running out of space anytime soon.
  • For Gamers - WD Black 2.5-inch PC Hard Drives offer the perfect storage solution for your gaming rig. WD Black 2.5-inch Hard Drives are purpose-built and tested to ensure they can handle the high-performance tasks you need. With up to 1TB of capacity, you get the space you need for your game’s downloadable content, large cache sizes for fast load times, and 7200 RPM-Class drive for desktop-level performance.
  • Industry Leading Warranty - WD Black 2.5-inch PC Hard Drives are tested under more strenuous conditions over a longer period when compared to our standard hard drives. This comprehensive testing ensures an overall quality benchmark for a stable, high performance storage solution backed by an industry leading 5 year limited warranty.
  • Maximum Performance - Sophisticated performance enhancing features deliver the speed you need for demanding applications like photo and video editing and Internet gaming.
  • 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.
  • Rock-solid Mechanical Architecture - Twice the processing power to maximize performance.
  • Massive Capacity - WD’s 1TB 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Dual Processor - Twice the processing power to maximize performance.
  • 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.
  • 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.
