Quiet
In a notebook drive, silence is
golden. WD’s exclusive
WhisperDrive™ combines state-of-
the-art seeking algorithms to yield
one of the quietest 2.5-inch hard
drives on the market. These
algorithms also optimize the way a
drive seeks for data, which
significantly improves power
consumption. So now silence (and
longer battery life) is golden.

Reliable
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.
