- WD's exclusive WhisperDrive technology with SoftSeek algorithms make this the quietest 2.5-inch hard drive, regardless of spin speed.
- WD's ShockGuard technology protects the drive mechanics and platter surfaces from shocks. WD's DuraStep Ramp locks the heads in a secure position away from the disk to provide another layer of protection when the drive is not in use. Utilizing the most technologically advanced material available, the drive can perform a minimum of 600,000 load/unload cycles without contamination - up to twice the performance of its competitors.
- WD Blue's rigid stainless steel top cover withstands more than 5 pounds of pressure - nearly 1.5 times the industry average - without pinching vital internal components.

THIS PRODUCT SHIPS IN OEM PACKAGING - GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN
Manufacturers sometimes offer discounts when large quantities of products are purchased without fancy, colorful, retail packaging. We take advantage of these opportunities to bring you the same quality, retail product at a lower price. Retail packaging is designed to look good on a store shelf and attract your attention. It frequently includes more paper, plastic and cardboard than needed. OEM packaging is not as visually attractive but is far more economical and because OEM packaging uses less paper, plastic, ink and cardboard it creates less waste and is better for the environment. Although OEM packaged product ships in a plain white or brown box you can be assured it is the same quality product as the retail packaged version. Buying OEM packaged products saves you money and helps save the planet…GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN. Included accessories, software, documentation, and manufacturer warranties on OEM products may vary from retail versions. Please review our detailed specifications and photo gallery for included accessories and see below for warranty information.

Great Deal ... No problems
I got one of these and a 2 Memory sticks for my in-laws Dell Inspiron 5150. Working like a champ! No issues, auto detected RAM and HD ... performance restored and no more Blue Screen Of Death. Yeah!

When I had initially gotten this drive it was all great. It is the biggest capacity wise and performed quite well. I am however disappointed now due to a sudden death of the drive. The system was fully running overnight with some downloads but when I checked it this morning there was a black screen and a ''disk read error'' has occurred. How can a good drive change or corrupt files like this just overnight???

I purchased first a 160 GB to replace my 80GB in my 2004 Dell Inspiron and at first it was great. I created a 70GB and a 8 GB Partition at startup. After installing XP SP3 and several boots the system doesn't recognize the remaining space on the drive any longer. All attemps with WD and other low level formatting tools failed. Attaching the drive as exteral device to other computers showed the same mess. My Harwarevendor exchanged the drive with a 120GB but after installing an rebooting I now face the same troubles. The remaining Diskspace os no longer visible and cannot used for a partition

I bought this about three (3) months ago and installed into a 2.5'' USB enclosure. Filled it with 175 GB and used it sparingly. It failed with the dreaded ''click-o'-death''. I'm now waiting for WD to RMA a replacement. This has been a disappointing experience for me with WD. My experiences with Seagate have been much more positive.
