Product Features

WD has redefined the PC with 

the next big thing in ultra-fast 

performance storage. The WD Black² 

dual drive is an evolutionary approach 

to a compromised solid-state and 

hybrid storage market. It is the must-

have upgrade solution for your single 

drive PC, fueled by the power of two 

and inspired by you.

Your requests to make PC life better, 

faster and more fun have been heard. 

We took the challenge and made it 

our mission to design a solution that 

delivers the ultimate PC experience. 

The WD Black² dual drive solves 

your storage limitations and adds 

true high-performance SSD speed to 

your PC. The WD Black² dual drive 

is the drive you were waiting for, 

inspired by and created specifically 

for enthusiasts like you.

The WD Black² dual drive offers a 

lower cost-per-gigabyte advantage 

over the solid-state competition. 

With a generous 1 TB capacity hard 

drive, WD Black² also features a fully 

accessible 120 GB solid-state drive. 

The result is the world’s first 2.5-inch 

dual drive storage solution.

WD Black² is built by fusing two 

world-class storage devices together 

into one dual drive to create the 

ultimate PC experience. Boot up 

faster to your operating system with 

the speed of SSD at your fingertips. 

WD Black² features innovative 20nm 

NAND flash with remarkable power 

efficiency that are poised to redefine 

what is possible in the storage 

industry. SSD performance can 

degrade when total capacities are 

reached, which is a major concern 

for SSD users. We built our dual drive 

solution to solve this problem. You 

can move your larger data onto the 

1 TB hard drive, ultimately extending 

the life of the MLC NAND and 

maintaining optimal performance. It’s 

just what you’ve been asking for and 

it’s finally here.

Our revolutionary WD Black² dual 

drive is designed for use in most  

9.5 mm 2.5-inch drive bays. 

™

WD Black² Shift_Technology is 

race-ready from the starting line with 

enhanced firmware and improved 

algorithms for faster performance and 

data management. This allows you to 

migrate larger data files to the hard 

drive and provides your SSD with 

less system drag, which increases 

the overall endurance and mileage of 

the SSD. With less caching involved, 

there’s less time waiting and more 

time enjoying the things you love to 

do most.

WD Black² combines agility and 

reliability in an evolutionary dual drive 

form factor. Advanced firmware 

and intelligent algorithms assist in 

heightened performance, resulting 

in cooler temperatures with nearly 

inaudible operation. 

With WD Black² the decision is yours. 

Safer than using an SSD as your only 

primary storage device, now you are 

enabled to save your data on the  

1 TB hard drive, or split data between 

both. Duplicate the data of your 

SSD onto the hard drive and remove 

the need for large cloud storage or 

expensive third party plans. Take full 

control and manage the location of 

your personal data.

Relentlessly dedicated to your data, 

the WD Black² dual drive carries the 

same industry-leading 5-year limited 

warranty as WD’s other performance 

storage drives. WD Black

™

 drives 

are a reflection of the innovation

aggressive testing over a longer 

period of time than conventional 

storage options.
