PRODUCT OVERVIEW – 3

Product Overview

Introducing the WD Black² Dual Drive, a revolutionary storage solution that is

specifically designed for the modern enthusiast whether you are a creative pro,

gamer or PC builder. WD Black² is the fusion of a fully accessible solid-state drive for

your operating system and a generous capacity hard drive for personal data and

large files. It is the must-have upgrade solution for your single drive PC, fueled by the

power of two and inspired by you.

The power of two—WD has redefined the PC with the next big thing in ultra-fast

performance storage. The WD Black² dual drive is an evolutionary approach to a

compromised solid-state and hybrid storage market. It is the must-have upgrade

solution for your single drive PC, fueled by the power of two and inspired by you.

Inspired by you—Your requests to make PC life better, faster and more fun have

been heard. We took the challenge and made it our mission to design a solution that

delivers the ultimate PC experience. The WD Black² dual drive solves your storage

limitations and adds true high-performance SSD speed to your PC. The WD Black²

dual drive is the drive you were waiting for, inspired by and created specifically for

enthusiasts like you.

Massive mobile capacity—The WD Black² dual drive offers a lower cost-per-

gigabyte advantage over the solid-state competition. With a generous 1 TB capacity

hard drive, WD Black² also features a fully accessible 120 GB solid-state drive. The

result is the world’s first 2.5-inch dual drive storage solution.

Professional performance—WD Black² is built by fusing two world-class storage

devices together into one dual drive to create the ultimate PC experience. Boot up

faster to your operating system with the speed of SSD at your fingertips. WD Black²

features innovative 20nm NAND flash with remarkable power efficiency that are

poised to redefine what is possible in the storage industry. SSD performance can

degrade when total capacities are reached, which is a major concern for SSD users.

We built our dual drive solution to solve this problem. You can move your larger data

onto the 1 TB hard drive, ultimately extending the life of the MLC NAND and

maintaining optimal performance. It’s just what you’ve been asking for and it’s finally

here.

Compatible—Our revolutionary WD Black² dual drive is designed for use in most

9.5 mm 2.5-inch drive bays.

Shift_Technology™—WD Black² Shift_Technology is race-ready from the starting

line with enhanced firmware and improved algorithms for faster performance and

data management. This allows you to migrate larger data files to the hard drive and

provides your SSD with less system drag, which increases the overall endurance

and mileage of the SSD. With less caching involved, there’s less time waiting and

more time enjoying the things you love to do most.

Finesse of perfection—WD Black² combines agility and reliability in an evolutionary

dual drive form factor. Advanced firmware and intelligent algorithms assist in

heightened performance, resulting in cooler temperatures with nearly inaudible

operation.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW – 4

You take the control—With WD Black² the decision is yours. Safer than using an

SSD as your only primary storage device, now you are enabled to save your data on

the 1 TB hard drive, or split data between both. Duplicate the data of your SSD onto

the hard drive and remove the need for large cloud storage or expensive third party

plans. Take full control and manage the location of your personal data.

Industry-leading 5-year limited warranty—Relentlessly dedicated to your data,

the WD Black² dual drive carries the same industry-leading 5-year limited warranty

as WD’s other performance storage drives. WD Black™ drives are a reflection of the

innovation and passion of our engineers, and they undergo more strenuous and

aggressive testing over a longer period of time than conventional storage options.

Applications

Video and photo editing, graphic design, and other power computing

applications.

WD Black² dual drives are tested and recommended for use in notebooks, all-in-

one PCs, thin client PCs, gaming PCs and other small form factor PC systems.

Note: WD dual drives are designed and tested for use in specific applications and environments. This

ensures that your dual drive is compatible with and functions properly in your application. Our dual

drives are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship in the system for which they were

designed. Use in systems other than for what the dual drive was designed could result in compatibility

problems that affect proper function, unrelated to material and/or workmanship defects. For best

results, be sure to select the appropriate product for your application by consulting our product spec

sheets on our website at www.wd.com or by calling our customer support line where we would be

happy to help you through the selection process.
