WD WD5000BPKT Features

  • Desktop-class performance for notebook computers: With 7200 RPM spin speed,16MB cache and capacities 500GB, these drives enable you to have the best of both worlds: the capacity and performance of a desktop PC with the convenience and portability of a notebook
  • Massive capacity: WD's 500GB 2.5-inch drives offer huge capacity for space-hungry operating systems with plenty of room left over for photos, music and video
  • Tested for compatibility: Performance tests on hundreds of systems and a multitude of platforms in our FIT Lab and Mobile Compatibility Lab to give WD customers confidence that our drives will work in their systems
  • Quiet: In a notebook drive, silence is golden. WD's exclusive WhisperDrive combines state-of the-art seeking algorithms to yield one of the quietest 2.5-inch hard drives on the market
  • Reliable and rugged: WD's ShockGuard technology protects the drive mechanics and platter surfaces from shocks during shipping and handling and in daily operation. WD's SecurePark parks the recording heads off the disk surface during spin up, spin down and when the drive is off
  • Low power consumption: With technologies like IntelliSeek, which calculates optimum seek speeds to lower power consumption and SecurePark, which reduces power by parking the heads during low power idle mode, this drive delivers 5400 RPM-equivalent power consumption in a 7200 RPM drive
  • Advanced Format (AF) Technology being adopted by WD and other drive manufacturers as one of multiple ways to continue growing hard drive capacities. AF is a more efficient media format that enables increased areal densities (BPKT models only)
