For Gamers
The WD_BLACK™ drive is the perfect storage solution for your gaming machine by offering large capacities to store your game’s downloadable content (DLC), large cache sizes, and it is the perfect complement for maximum system performance when combined with an SSD.

For Creative Professionals
When it comes to storing your creativity and digital portfolio, look no further than WD_BLACK™ performance storage for your solution. Use the WD_BLACK drive for storing your large multimedia files of photos, videos, games or applications and programs because with a WD_BLACK drive, you get the combination of speed, capacity and large cache sizes.

Increased Reliability
The WD_BLACK™ drive is equipped with StableTrac Technology (2TB and larger models). This secures the motor shaft inside of the hard drive to increase reliability and help reduce impact due to system-induced vibrations from other components such as additional gaming hardware. By stabilizing the platters inside, the WD_BLACK drive results in more accurate tracking in a particular sector during read and write operations, optimizing performance and reliability.

Increased DRAM cache
The WD_BLACK™ drive delivers high-speed transfers and read rates of your files with impressive cache sizes of up to 256 MB of DRAM on our high capacity models. Western Digital’s Dynamic Cache Technology improves caching algorithms in real time to allocate and optimize cache between reads and writes. This movement of cache for read data helps to reduce congestion and increase overall performance.

Efficient dual processing
When it comes to processing power, more is better for loading games or large multimedia files. The WD_BLACK™ drive features a dual-core processor that offers twice the processing capability as a single-core processor to maximize drive performance for faster read and write speeds.

An Industry-leading 5-year limited warranty
Compared to standard hard drives such as WD Blue™, our WD_BLACK™ hard drives pass more strenuous and aggressive internal testing over a longer period of time which is why the WD_BLACK drive is backed by an industry leading 5-year limited warranty. Our success combined with innovation, refinement, and our passion for storage instills confidence in our consumers.
