750GB WD Black Hard Disk Drive

2.5-Inch | SATA 6.0Gb/s | 7200RPM | 16MB Cache
Desktop-class performance for notebook computers.
Maximize notebook computer performance with this 7200 RPM, SATA 6Gb/s, high-capacity hard drive.

Designed with top-of-the-line notebook computers in mind, this high performance drive delivers the capacity and speed needed to supercharge a notebook PC without compromising battery life or quiet acoustics. Features like these also make this drive an outstanding option for compact desktops, external hard drives, gaming systems, and blade servers.
Key Features
Desktop-class performance for notebook computers - With 7200 RPM spin speed, 16 MB cache, and capacities up to 750 GB, these drives enable you to have the best of both worlds: the capacity and performance of a desktop PC with the convenience and portability of a notebook.

Massive capacity - WD's 750 GB 2.5-inch drives offer huge capacity for space-hungry operating systems like Windows Vista®, with plenty of room left over for photos, music, and video.

Low power consumption - With technologies like IntelliSeek, which calculates optimum seek speeds to lower power consumption and SecurePark, which reduces power by parking the heads during low power idle mode, this drive delivers 5400 RPM-equivalent power consumption in a 7200 RPM drive.

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.

Reliable and rugged
  • WD's ShockGuard technology protects the drive mechanics and platter surfaces from shocks during shipping and handling and in daily operation.
  • 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 shock tolerance.
Tested for compatibility - We perform tests on hundreds of systems and a multitude of platforms in our FIT Lab and Mobile Compatibility Lab to give WD customers confidence that our drives will work in their systems.

Advanced Format (AF) - Technology being adopted by WD and other drive manufacturers as one of multiple ways to continue growing hard drive capacities. AF is a more efficient media format that enables increased areal densities.

Rating: 5/5 Easy to replace and BIG drive May 16, 2015 Swapping out my failing 500gb laptop drive was a 30 min job and well worth it. Fast and lots more space. Used CCC to make a mountable BU partition on an external drive, partition the laptop into 2 drives (Boot drive and Data drive), put OSX 10l.6 or so as an emergency BU on the Data drive, boot from the DATA drive then RESTORE from the external to the BOOT drive. Done. You don't miss a beat AND you have a perfect BU of your apps and OS.

Rating: 5/5 Works well March 2, 2015 This was a bare-drive replacement for an external, bus-powered backup drive for my daughter, and the improvement in performance was immediately noticeable. Form/fit was perfect, and read/write speed was excellent (for a spinning-platter drive and not a solid-state drive). The capacity for the price was also excellent. I generally buy memory and drives from OWC, and they have never disappointed me.
