Applications
Advanced Wear-Leveling
WD's wear-leveling algorithm uses a combination of
dynamic and static wear-leveling that writes data
evenly over the entire drive, preventing drive wear out
and lengthening drive life.
Advanced Error Correction
Enables error free data transmission by deploying
advanced error correction technologies to detect and
correct errors resulting from signal noise or other
kinds of interference that causes data distortion.
Native Command Queuing (NCQ)
Increases the performance of SATA drives by placing
read / write commands in the optimal sequential
order for the fastest execution.
Data Integrity Protection
Prevents data loss from unexpected power loss
during write operations to ensure data integrity and
availability.
ATA SMART Commands
Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technologies
(SMART) detect and warn when an SSD needs
replacement.
WD Certified
WD's drives are rigorously tested over months in
WD's Functional Integrity Testing (F.I.T.) Lab to ensure
worry-free compatibility and peak peformance with
hundreds of systems.
