Smarter than the average

drivePerformance and workstation PCsequipped with high-end componentsoften emit vibrations and acousticsthat can reduce the precision andperformance of your hard drive. Eventhe best chassis on the market cannot always compensate against this.

The new generation of WD Blackhard drives feature Vibration Control

Technology (VCT) which allows thedisks inside the drive to adapt toany mounting problems or vibrationconditions that are inside your case,resulting in increased data accuracy,performance and reliability over time.Put simply, this means you can gameharder, faster and longer.

Action meets stable tractionIn addition to Vibration Control

Technology (VCT), WD Black isalso equipped with StableTrac

Technology, which secures the motorshaft inside the drive at both endsto help reduce additional system-induced vibrations. StableTracconfidently stabilizes the plattersinside, resulting in more accuratetracking in a particular sector duringread and write operations anddelivers increased performance.(2 TB models and above)
