Description: WD has advanced the caching algorithms of this new and improved Caviar family of hard drives, resulting in next-generation high performance. Heat is a major contributor to hard drive wear, and cool drive operating temperatures help increase long-term drive reliability. WD achieves the lowest operating temperature of any hard drive in it's class, including slower drives spinning at 5,400 RPM, by lowering the drives' power consumption through advanced design of electronics and firmware.Today's PCs, digital video recorders and gaming machines are increasingly operated in environments where noise is less tolerated. WD minimizes WD Caviar noise to levels virtually below the threshold of human hearing with its WhisperDrive technology, which features a highly efficient power driver design. And to cut seek noise, Soft Seek technology streamlines read/write seeking algorithms, resulting in the drive operating more efficiently when accessing and writing data.SecureConnect provides a 500 percent stronger cable-to-drive connection than first-generation SATA hard drives and cables. Also ensures backward compatibility with legacy SATA cables and backplanes. FlexPower connector technology accepts power from both industry-standard and new SATA power supplies.Data protection enhancements include Data Lifeguard, Data Lifeguard Tools, and Shock Guard which provides outstanding improvements in shock and vibration protection.
