For creators, gamers, and anyone who demands the best, we’ve designed a new generation of hard drives that improve the performance of your PC. The latest generation of WD Black hard drives offers enhanced features to maximize system performance so you can focus more on creating with less time spent waiting. WD Black is designed to intensify your PC experience with generous capacity and incredible performance that pushes the boundaries of customization.

To make this exceptional performance and capacity possible, WD Black features a high-resolution controller (HRC) with an improved architectural design, allowing for greater data accuracy on the hard drive. This translates into increased response to take your world to the next level of high definition.

 

Smarter than conventional hard drives
High-performance and workstation PCs are equipped with components that often produce vibrations that reduce hard drive accuracy and performance. Even the best chassis on the market cannot compensate for this. The new generation of WD Black hard drives feature Vibration Control Technology (VCT) that allows the platters inside the drive to adapt to mounting issues and vibration conditions that occur inside your enclosure, for improved data accuracy, performance and long-term reliability.
performance and long-term reliability. In short, it lets you play better, faster and longer.

In addition to Vibration Control Technology (VCT), WD Black features StableTrac technology that secures the motor shaft inside the hard drive at both ends to reduce additional system-induced vibration. StableTrac firmly stabilizes the platters for more precise tracking of a particular sector during read and write operations and improved performance. (Models 2TB and above)

The worst thing that can happen during a rendering process is to lose data due to a power fluctuation or power failure. The new generation of WD Black hard drives is equipped with Data Corruption Protection (DPC) technology to protect and limit potential data loss issues during a power failure. Most importantly, data corruption protection technology can save you time and money in your projects.

You always wish you had more processing power. WD Black is equipped with a dual processor that provides twice the processing power to maximize drive performance. WD’s dynamic caching technology increases performance by improving real-time caching algorithms and optimizing cache allocation between reads and writes. This allows the drive to allocate more and more cache for read data, thereby reducing data congestion and increasing overall performance.

Our engineers’ primary mission is to protect your data. This passion is reflected in the industry-leading 5-year limited warranty that covers all of our WD Black hard drives. Our success is based on our ability to consistently deliver innovative technologies and back those products with an industry-leading 5-year limited warranty. WD Black is tested to a higher standard than conventional hard drives with more rigorous and aggressive testing over a longer period of time. This is how we are building the WD story of innovation, excellence and passion for high-performance hard drives.
