WD Caviar Black ® TM WD Caviar Black Desktop Hard Drives Maximum performance for power computing Interface SATA 3 Gb/s Width/Height 3.5-inch/1-inch 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, leading-edge vibration protection ensure enhanced reliability. And we back it all up with a 5-year warranty. Product Features High Performance Electronics Architecture · Dual processor -- Twice the processing power to maximize performance. · 32 MB cache -- Bigger, faster cache means faster performance. Rock Solid Mechanical Architecture Rotational Speed 7200 RPM Capacities 500 GB to 1 TB · StableTracTM -- The motor shaft is secured at both ends to reduce systeminduced vibration and stabilize platters for accurate tracking, during read and write operations (750 GB and 1 TB models only). · NoTouchTM 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. Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR) -- WD Caviar Black drives employ PMR technology to achieve even greater areal density. Model Numbers · WD1001FALS WD7501AALS WD6401AALS WD5001AALS Compatible -- We perform tests on hundreds of systems and a multitude of platforms in our FIT LabTM and Mobile Compatibility Lab to give our customers confidence that our drives will work in their systems. 5 Year Warranty Note: Not all products may be available in all regions of the world.

Total accessible capacity varies depending on operating environment. As used for buffer or cache, one megabyte (MB) = 1,048,576 bytes. As used for transfer rate or interface, megabyte per second (MB/s) = one million bytes per second, and gigabit per second (Gb/s) = one billion bits per second. Effective maximum SATA 3 Gb/s transfer rate calculated according to the Serial ATA specification published by the SATA-IO organization as of the date of this specification sheet. Visit www.sata-io.org for details. 2 WD products manufactured and sold worldwide after August 1, 2005, meet or exceed Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliance requirements as mandated by the European Union for electrical and electronic products. The RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament, which is effective in the EU beginning July 1, 2006, aims to protect human health and the environment by restricting the use of certain hazardous substances in new equipment, and consists of restrictions on lead, mercury, cadmium, and other substances. 3 Controlled unload at ambient condition. 4 The term of the limited warranty may vary by region.
