Increased reliability
WD_BLACK gaming hard drives from 2 TB1 are equipped with StableTrac™ technology. This secures the motor shaft in the hard drive to increase reliability and reduce additional system-related vibrations from other components such as additional gaming hardware. By stabilising the platters internally, the WD_BLACK hard drive can ensure more precise control during read and write operations in a given sector, optimising performance and reliability.

Performance on demand
The WD_BLACK hard drive offers ultra-fast read and transfer speeds with impressive cache sizes of up to 256 MB DRAM on high capacity models. Western Digital’s Dynamic Cache technology improves cache algorithms in real time and optimises cache allocation between read and write operations. This ensures short loading times and fast gameplay.

Battle-tested dual processor
When loading today’s games with large memory requirements, computing power is key. The WD_BLACK gaming hard drive is equipped with a dual-core processor, which offers twice the processing power compared to a single-core processor and thus shortens loading times.
