WD Ships New 7mm, Energy Efficient Mobile Hard Drive for Ultrabook Devices

Western Digital company and a world leader in hard drives, has shipped the WD Blueโ„ข 7 mm hard drive, the latest addition to its mobile hard drive family. The 2.5-inch drive is the most energy efficient in the market, with best-in-the market shock tolerance technology. This new offering from WD will prove to be a boon for long distance travellers who have to stay away from a power source for extended hours.

Specified to a best-in-class 400Gs shock tolerance, the new single-platter WD Blue small form factor hard drives are available in 500 GB and 320 GB capacities and the drivesโ€™ compatibility with industry-standard 9.5 mm slots make them ideal storage options for mainstream notebooks as well as slimmer notebook and Ultrabookโ„ข devices that require a 7 mm drive height.

โ€œWith more consumers going mobile we have launched the new WD Blue 7mm to meet the storage requirements in thin and light personal computers such as in notebooks and ultrabooks,โ€ said Khwaja Saifuddin, Senior Sales Director -Middle East , Africa & South Asia. He added further, โ€œWD is able to offer capacity along with reliability and data-protection features combined with excellent power management all in a slim form factor which overcomes the storage capacity limitation of SSD-based notebooks.โ€

Features of the new WD Blue 7 mm hard drives include:
ยท Low power consumption – Advanced power management features and algorithms optimize the way the drive seeks data, which significantly improves power consumption.
ยท Shock Tolerance โ€“ WDโ€™s ShockGuardโ„ข technology, now increased to a best-in-market 400Gs shock specification, protects the drive mechanics and platter surfaces from shocks.
ยท Cool and quiet – In a notebook drive, silence is golden. WDโ€™s exclusive WhisperDriveโ„ข technology enables quiet performance.

ยท Reliable โ€“ WDโ€™s SecureParkโ„ข parks the recording heads off the disk surface during spin up, spin down, and when the drive is off. This ensures the recording head never touches the disk surface resulting in improved long term reliability due to less head wear, and improved non-operational shock tolerance.

ยท Compatibility Tested – WD performs tests on hundreds of systems and a multitude of platforms in its FIT Labโ„ข and Mobile Compatibility Lab to give customers confidence that drives will work in specific systems.

  10. Most of whatever you point out happens to be astonishingly legitimate and that makes me ponder why I had not looked at this with this light before. Your article really did turn the light on for me as far as this topic goes. But there is actually just one factor I am not too comfy with so while I attempt to reconcile that with the central idea of your position, permit me see what the rest of your readers have to say.Nicely done.

  11. Pretty section of content. I just stumbled upon your website and in accession capital to assert that I get actually enjoyed account your blog posts. Anyway Iโ€™ll be subscribing to your feeds and even I achievement you access consistently quickly.

  12. This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

  13. The other week my current laptop went bust hence my search for a new one has begun. In all honesty I was totally lost in the beginning and then I found your post which put everything into the right place basically I now feel I know what I am looking for so thanks.
