- Cool
- Cool operation results in the highest reliability,
even in intensely hot environments such as digital
video recorders. That's why these, the coolest
on the market, are the drives of choice for the
world's leading consumer electronics and PC manufacturers.
- Quiet
- The technology that Tom's Hardware Guide called
"very fast and nearly silent" is used
throughout this family of drives. Our WhisperDrive™
technology minimizes noise to levels near the
threshold of human hearing. To cut seek noise,
SoftSeek™ technology streamlines read/write
seeking algorithms, resulting in more efficient
operation.

automatically finds, isolates, and repairs problems
that may develop over the life of a hard drive.

Lifeguard Tools™ are software utilities designed
for WD hard drives that work with the embedded
Data Lifeguard features to make hard drive installation,diagnostics
and repair both simple and worry-free. (Download
