Noiselessness is particularly important for notebook drives. The exclusive WhisperDrive from WD combines technologically advanced search algorithms into one of the quietest 2.5" hard drives on the market.
ShockGuard technology
WD protects the drive mechanics and plate surfaces from shocks during shipping, commissioning and daily use.
WD's SecurePark parks the recording heads off the disk surface as soon as the drive is up and down or out of service. This ensures that the recording head never touches the disk surface, resulting in higher long-term reliability due to reduced wear to the head and better shock tolerance.
Tested for compatibility
We test hundreds of systems and numerous platforms in our FIT Lab and Mobile Compatibility Lab to give WD customers peace of mind that our drives will work in their systems.
