performance and cool, quiet operation. WD's IntelliSeek™ technology calculates the optimum
seek speeds to lower power consumption, noise and vibration. And to increase reliability,
NoTouch™ parks the recording head off the drive surface during spin up, spin down and when
the drive is off to ensure the head never touches the disk surface. These drives scored a
perfect 5.9 on the Windows Experience Index and are Windows Vista™ certified.
These hard drives are your best choice for today's powerful, information-hungry systems
running Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Windows 2003 Server, Windows Vista, Windows
XP, and Windows 2000 operating systems on Intel
as AMD processors.
WD's rugged and reliable hard drives are designed and manufactured to the highest
standards of quality and reliability. Built to last, this SATA hard drive is made for years of cool-
running, high-performance operation around the clock. Before shipping, every drive
undergoes over 200 rigorous tests to ensure functionality and compatibility.
