Increased DRAM cache
The WD Black drive delivers high-speed transfers and read rates of your files with impressive cache sizes of up to 128 MB of DRAM on our high capacity models.

Increased Reliability
The WD Black drive is equipped with StableTrac Technology (2 TB and larger models). This secures the motor shaft inside of the hard drive to increase reliability and help reduce impact due to system-induced vibrations from other components. By stabilizing the platters inside, the WD Black drive results in more accurate tracking in a particular sector during read and write operations, optimizing performance and reliability.
