[. . . ] WD Caviar Black ® TM Desktop Hard Drives WD Caviar Black drives combine a high performance electronics architecture with a rock solid mechanical architecture to deliver the perfect storage solution for your fully-loaded PC or maxed out gaming machine. [. . . ] (2 TB only) StableTracTM -- The motor shaft is secured at both ends to reduce system-induced vibration and stabilize platters for accurate tracking, during read and write operations. (750 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB models only) NoTouchTM ramp load technology The recording head never touches the disk media ensuring significantly less wear to the recording head and media, as well as better drive protection in transit. Massive Capacity WD Caviar Black SATA drives are available in capacities up to 2 TB. Compatible We perform tests on hundreds of systems and a multitude of platforms in our FIT LabTM and Mobile Compatibility Lab to give our customers confidence that our drives will work in their systems. 5-year limited warranty WD Caviar Black Specifications Model number Interface Formatted capacity User sectors per drive LBA support SATA latching connector Actuator latch/auto park Form factor RoHS compliant2 Performance 1 2 TB WD2001FASS SATA 3 Gb/s 2, 000, 398 MB 3, 907, 029, 168 Yes Yes Yes 3. 5-inch Yes 1 TB WD1002FAEX SATA 6 Gb/s 1, 000, 204 MB 1, 953, 525, 169 Yes Yes Yes 3. 5-inch Yes 1 TB WD1001FALS SATA 3 Gb/s 1, 000, 204 MB 1, 953, 525, 169 Yes Yes Yes 3. 5-inch Yes 750 GB WD7501AALS SATA 3 Gb/s 750, 156 MB 1, 465, 149, 168 Yes Yes Yes 3. 5-inch Yes 640 GB WD6402AAEX SATA 6 Gb/s 640, 135 MB 1, 250, 263, 728 Yes Yes Yes 3. 5-inch Yes 640 GB WD6401AALS SATA 3 Gb/s 640, 135 MB 1, 250, 263, 728 Yes Yes Yes 3. 5-inch Yes 500 GB WD5001AALS SATA 3 Gb/s 500, 107 MB 976, 773, 168 Yes Yes Yes 3. 5-inch Yes Data transfer rate (max) Buffer to host Host to/from drive (sustained) Cache (MB) Average latency (ms) Rotational speed (RPM) Average drive ready time (sec) Reliability/Data Integrity Load/unload cycles3 Non-recoverable read errors per bits read Limited warranty (years)4 Power Management 3 Gb/s 138 MB/s 64 4. 2 7200 21 300, 000 <1 in 1014 5 6 Gb/s 126 MB/s 64 4. 2 7200 11 300, 000 <1 in 1014 5 3 Gb/s 106 MB/s 32 4. 2 7200 13 300, 000 <1 in 1014 5 3 Gb/s 106 MB/s 32 4. 2 7200 13 300, 000 <1 in 1014 5 6 Gb/s 126 MB/s 64 4. 2 7200 11 300, 000 <1 in 1014 5 3 Gb/s 113 MB/s 32 4. 2 7200 11 300, 000 <1 in 1014 5 3 Gb/s 113 MB/s 32 4. 2 7200 11 300, 000 <1 in 1014 5 Average power requirements (W) Read/Write Idle Standby Sleep Environmental Specifications5 10. 7 8. 2 1. 3 1. 3 6. 8 6. 1 0. 7 0. 7 8. 4 7. 8 1 1 8. 4 7. 8 1 1 6. 8 6. 1 0. 7 0. 7 8. 3 7. 7 1 1 8. 3 7. 7 1 1 Temperature (°C) Operating Non-operating Shock (Gs) Operating (2 ms, read) Operating (2 ms, read/write) Non-operating (2 ms) Average acoustics (dBA)6 Idle mode Performance seek mode Quiet seek mode Physical Dimensions Height (in. /mm, max) Length (in. /mm, max) Width (in. /mm, ± . 01 in. ) Weight (lb. /kg, ± 10%) 1 0 to 60 -40 to 70 30 65 300 29 34 30 1. 028/25. 4 5. 787/147 4/101. 6 1. 66/0. 75 0 to 60 -40 to 70 30 65 300 28 33 29 1. 028/25. 4 5. 787/147 4/101. 6 1. 52/0. 69 0 to 60 -40 to 70 30 65 250 24 33 29 1. 028/25. 4 5. 787/147 4/101. 6 1. 52/0. 69 0 to 60 -40 to 70 30 65 250 24 33 29 1. 028/25. 4 5. 787/147 4/101. 6 1. 52/0. 69 0 to 60 -40 to 70 30 65 300 28 33 29 1. 028/25. 4 5. 787/147 4/101. 6 1. 52/0. 69 0 to 60 -40 to 70 30 65 300 25 29 26 1. 028/25. 4 5. 787/147 4/101. 6 1. 39/0. 63 0 to 60 -40 to 70 30 65 300 25 29 26 1. 028/25. 4 5. 787/147 4/101. 6 1. 39/0. 63 As used for storage capacity, one megabyte (MB) = one million bytes, one gigabyte (GB) = one billion bytes, and one terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes. As used for transfer rate or interface, megabyte per second (MB/s) = one million bytes per second, and gigabit per second (Gb/s) = one billion bits per second. Effective maximum SATA 3 Gb/s and SATA 6 Gb/s transfer rates calculated according to the Serial ATA specification published by the SATA-IO organization as of the date of this specification sheet. WD hard drive products manufactured and sold worldwide after June 1, 2006, meet or exceed Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliance requirements as mandated by the European Union for electrical and electronic products. The RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament, which is effective in the EU beginning July 1, 2006, aims to protect human health and the environment by restricting the use of certain hazardous substances in new equipment, and consists of restrictions on lead, mercury, cadmium, and other substances. 3 Controlled unload at ambient condition 4 The term of the limited warranty may vary by region. 5 No non-recoverable errors during operating tests or after non-operating tests.
