Product Features  
Rock Solid Mechanical Architecture  
High Performance Electronics Compatible  
Architecture  
Dual actuator technology  
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. (2 TB and 1.5 TB models  
only)  
We perform tests on hundreds of  
systems and a multitude of platforms  
in our FIT Lab™ and Mobile  
A head positioning system with two  
actuators that improves positional  
accuracy over the data track(s). The  
primary actuator provides coarse  
displacement using conventional  
electromagnetic actuator principles.  
The secondary actuator uses a  
piezoelectric motor to fine tune the  
head positioning to a higher degree  
of accuracy. (2 TB and 1.5 TB models  
only)  
Dual processor Twice the  
processing power to maximize  
performance.  
Compatibility Lab to give our  
customers confidence that our drives  
will work in their systems.  
Colossal cache — Bigger, faster  
cache of up to 64 MB means faster  
performance.  
5-year limited warranty  
NoTouchramp 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 2 TB.  
Applications  
Power computing applications such as multimedia, video and photo editing, and maxed out gaming computers.  
Desktop / Consumer RAID Environments - WD Caviar Black Hard Drives are tested and recommended for use in consumer-type RAID applications (RAID-0 /  
RAID-1).  
- Business Critical RAID Environments – WD Caviar Black Hard Drives are not recommended for and are not warranted for use in RAID environments utilizing Enterprise HBAs and/or  
expanders and in multi-bay chassis, as they are not designed for, nor tested in, these specific types of RAID applications. For all Business Critical RAID applications, please consider WDs  
Enterprise Hard Drives that are specifically designed with RAID-specific, time-limited error recovery (TLER), are tested extensively in 24x7 RAID applications, and include features like  
enhanced RAFF technology and thermal extended burn-in testing.

1As 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. Effective maximum SATA 3 Gb/s and SATA 6 Gb/s transfer rates calculated according to the Serial ATA specification  
2WD hard drive products manufactured and sold worldwide after June 1, 2006, meet or exceed Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliance requirements as mandated by the European Union for electrical and electronic products. The RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC of the  
European Parliament, which is effective in the EU beginning July 1, 2006, aims to protect human health and the environment by restricting the use of certain hazardous substances in new equipment, and consists of restrictions on lead, mercury, cadmium, and other substances.
