Interface
EIDE - Enhanced integrated drive electronics (EIDE), also called
Parallel ATA (PATA), hard drives have been the standard in the computer
industry for more than 10 years.
SATA - Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives are quickly becoming the new
standard. Motherboard manufacturers now include SATA inputs on their
boards. Because of their considerably narrower cables, SATA hard drives
provide increased airflow and less clutter and in the computer system
compared to EIDE drives.
The performance difference - EIDE drives support data transfer rates up
to 100MB/sec, and all WD Caviar Blue SATA drive support 3 Gb/s transfer
rates.
How to choose - Our handy Interface Guide [link] can help you make your
selection.
Cache - WD Caviar Blue is available in 2 MB, 8 MB, and 16 MB cache sizes.
Bigger cache memory yields faster performance.
Capacity - We offer drives ranging from 40 GB to 750 GB. Pick the
biggest capacity your budget will allow. You can never have too much
storage space.
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.
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.
NoTouch™ ramp load technology - The recording head never touches the
disk media ensuring significantly less wear to the recording head and
media as well as better drive protection in transit.
IntelliSeek™ - Calculates optimum seek speeds to lower power consumption,
noise and vibration.
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.
