WD Caviar Black drives combine a high performance electronics architecture with a rock solid mechanical architecture to deliver the perfect storage solution for your fully-loaded PC or maxed out gaming machine. Cool drive operation, no-touch head technology, and leading-edge vibration protection ensure enhanced reliability and sustained data throughput. And we back it all up with a 5-year limited warranty.
Key Features
High Performance Electronics Architecture
  • Dual processor - Twice the processing power to maximize performance.
  • 64MB cache - Bigger, faster cache means faster performance.
Rock Solid Mechanical Architecture
  • StableTrac™ - The motor shaft is secured at both ends to reduce system-induced vibration and stabilize platters for accurate tracking, during read and write operations.
  • NoTouch™ ramp load technology - The recording head never touches the disk media ensuring significantly less wear to the recording head and media as well as better drive protection in transit.
5 Year Limited Warranty
Compatible - We perform tests on hundreds of systems and a multitude of platforms in our FIT Lab™ and Mobile Compatibility Lab to give our customers confidence that our drives will work in their systems.

OWC Tech Support Note: Western Digital Caviar Black drives with 64MB of cache are clocked at SATA III by default and need to be down clocked to work with G5 computers. Click here for jumper setting graph.
