Reliable and rugged
WD's ShockGuard™ technology
protects the drive mechanics and
platter surfaces from shocks during
shipping and handling and in daily
operation. WD’s SecurePark parks
the recording heads off the disk
surface during spin up, spin down,
and when the drive is off. This
ensures the recording head never
touches the disk surface, resulting
in improved long-term reliability due
to less head wear and improved
non-operational shock tolerance.

Low power consumption
With technologies like IntelliSeek™,
which calculates optimum seek
speeds to lower power
consumption and SecurePark™,
which reduces power by parking
the heads during low power idle
mode, this drive delivers
5400 RPM-equivalent power
consumption in a 7200 RPM drive.

Free-fall sensor
As an added layer of protection, if
the drive (or the system it’s in) is
dropped while in use, WD’s free-fall
sensor detects that the drive is
falling and, in less than 200
milliseconds, parks the head to help
prevent damage and data loss.
