WD Black
Mobile Hard Drive

WD Black hard drives are designed for enthusiasts and creative professionals looking for leading-edge performance. These 2.5-inch mobile drives are perfect for high-performance applications like photo and video editing, gaming and power PCs.

High performance electronics
WD Black drives feature a dual processor and dynamic cache for maximum read and write speeds.

• 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 opposed to write traffic, the drive automatically allocates more cache for read data, which reduces congestion and improves overall drive performance.

Rock-solid mechanical
architecture Enhanced reliability features help protect the drive and the data stored on it.
