WD Caviar Black drives combine a high performance electronics architecture with a rock solid mechanical architecture to deliver the perfect storage solution for your fully-loaded PC or maxed out gaming machine. Cool drive operation, no-touch head technology, and leading-edge vibration protection ensure enhanced reliability and sustained data throughput.

The Western Digital Caviar Black is one of the best 7,200RPM drives you can get, if you want to run one large, single hard drive. It's not well-suited for RAID, but then, you really wouldn't want to run a desktop drive as a RAID 0 drive if you can avoid it. It should be a superb performer in typical consumer environments.

High Performance Electronics Architecture

• Dual processor - Twice the processing power to maximize performance.
• 32 MB cache - Bigger, faster cache means faster performance. Rock Solid Mechanical Architecture
• StableTrac™ - The motor shaft is secured at both ends to reduce system-induced vibration and stabilize platters for accurate tracking, during read and write operations.
• 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.
• Massive Capacity - WD Caviar Black SATA drives are available in capacities up to 1 TB.
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.
