Reasons to buy
  • COMPATIBILITY TESTING
    All WD Gold hard drives are extensively tested across a variety of popular OEM storage systems, SATA controllers, and host bus adapters, to ensure ease of integration for a plug and play solution.
  • DUAL ACTUATOR TECHNOLOGY
    The primary actuator provides coarse displacement; the secondary actuator fine tunes the head positioning to a higher degree of accuracy.
