Product Features

The original

WD Blue drives are designed and

manufactured with the proven

technology found in WD’s original

award-winning desktop and mobile

hard drives.

WD quality

Built to the highest standards of

quality and reliability, these drives

offer the features and capacity ideal

for your everyday computing needs.

More options

These drives are available in a broad

range of capacities and interfaces so

you can be sure there’s a drive that’s

the perfect t for your system, in

more ways than one.

SATA or PATA interface

While SATA has become the industry

standard interface, WD continues to

manufacture desktop drives with a

PATA interface for unique or legacy

systems.

NoTouch™ ramp load technology

The recording head never touches

the disk media ensuring signicantly

less wear to the recording head

and media as well as better drive

protection in transit.

Upgrading your drive is easy

Acronis® True Image™ WD Edition

Software, available as a free

download on the WD Support site,

enables you to copy all your data

to a new drive so you don’t have to

reinstall your operating system to get

all the benets of a new drive.

Applications

WD Blue hard drives are tested and recommended for use in desktop PCs, industrial applications, and external enclosures. Desktop drives are not recommended

for use in RAID environments. Please consider using WD Red™ hard drives for home and small ofce 1-5 bay NAS systems and WD enterprise hard drives for

rackmount and NAS systems with more than 5 bays.*

* WD hard drives are designed and tested for use in specic applications and environments. This ensures that your hard drive is compatible with and functions properly in your application. Our

hard drives are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship in the system for which they were designed. Use in systems other than for what the hard drive was designed could

result in compatibility problems that affect proper function, unrelated to material and/or workmanship defects. For best results, be sure to select the appropriate product for your application

by consulting our product spec sheets on our website at www.wd.com or by calling our customer support line where we would be happy to help you through the selection process.

The WD Advantage

1 As 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.
