Features:
---------
SATA 6 Gb/s interface - Twice the interface speed with backwards
compatibility to legacy SATA standards.
Dual processor - Twice the processing power to maximize
performance.
Dynamic Cache - WD's dynamic caching algorithm improves
performance in real time by optimizing cache allocation between
reads and writes. For example, if there's an overwhelming
percentage of read traffic as sed to write traffic, the drive
automatically allocates more cache for read data, which reduces
congestion and improves overall drive performance.
NoTouch ramp load technology - The head never touches
the disk media ensuring significantly less wear to the
head and media as well as better drive protection in transit.
Srac - The motor shaft is secured at both ends to reduce
system-induced vibration and stabilize platters for accurate
tracking, during read and write operations which enables
consistently higher performance.
