Enhanced reliability
The WD Black gaming hard drive features StableTrac Technology. This secures the hard drive motor shaft, which increases reliability and reduces the impact of vibrations caused by other system components, such as other gaming hardware. By stabilising the platters inside, the WD Black drive achieves more precise track following in a given sector during read and write operations, which optimises performance and reliability.
Top performance
The WD Black drive delivers high read speeds and game file transfers thanks to its impressive DRAM cache sizes of up to 128MB. Western Digital's Dynamic Cache Technology improves algorithms in real time to allocate and optimise cache between reads and writes. The WD Black gaming hard drive has a dual-core processor that gives you twice the processing power of a single-core processor. This maximises drive performance and gets you into the game faster.
