WD Desktop Everyday internal hard drives deliver solid reliability for office and web applications, and they are perfect for extra storage for desktop PCs and in office applications.
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.
Low power consumption – State-of-the-art seeking algorithms and advanced power management features ensure low power consumption (2 TB, 3 TB, 4 TB, 5 TB, and 6 TB capacities).
Tested for compatibility – We perform tests on hundreds of systems and a multitude of platforms in our FIT Lab to give our customers confidence that our drives will work in their systems.
