Product Features

Cache
WD Caviar Blue is available in 8 MB, 16 MB, and 64 MB cache sizes. Bigger cache memory yields faster performance.

Quiet
The technology that Tom's Hardware Guide called "very fast and nearly silent" is used throughout this family of drives. Our WhisperDrive™ technology minimizes noise to levels near the threshold of human hearing. To cut seek noise, SoftSeek™ technology streamlines read/write seeking algorithms, resulting in more efficient operation.

Capacity
We offer drives ranging from 80 GB to 1 TB. Pick the biggest capacity your budget will allow. You can never have too much storage space.

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.

Reliability
We understand the importance of your data, and we are committed to protecting that data with exceptionally reliable products, advanced data protection technology and superior customer support.

Cool
Keeping the drive cool enhances reliability. WD continues to develop new and innovative ways to keep drives cool while they are operating.
