Description: This reliable drive is lightning fast, but it still delivers technologically advanced acoustics and cool operation. The one-two performance punch of 300 MB/s transfer rate, state-of-the-art performance for SATA drives, and 16 MB cache make the WD Caviar SE16 family the fastest desktop-class hard drives available. These SATA II drives feature a transfer rate three times faster than EIDE and twice as fast as SATA 1. Cool operation means the highest reliability even in high-heat environments such as personal video recorders. That s why these drives, the coolest on the market, are the drive of choice for the world s leading consumer electronics manufacturers as well as the world s leading PC makers. Noise has been minimized to levels virtually below the threshold of human hearing with WhisperDrive technology. And to cut seek noise, SoftSeek technology streamlines read/write seeking algorithms, resulting in the drive operating more efficiently when accessing and writing data. FlexPower connector technology accepts power from either industry-standard or new SATA power supplies. Hot plug support allows swapping hard drives without having to power off the system. Backplane compatibility uses the SATA industry standard connector which includes alignment ears and 3-stage electrical mating sequence, designed specifically for backplanes and hot pluggability. SATA latching connector provides a secure connection between the hard drive and the cable by using a locking latch mechanism. Minimize
