Boost your PC performance. Give your PC a new boost by combining a WD Blue hard drive with an SSD. This way, you achieve maximum access speed while enjoying up to 6 TB of storage capacity.
Plan for the future. Enhanced technologies require more storage. Digital cameras that record Ultra HD videos at a resolution of 4K and 30 frames per second demand a lot of space. With a 6 TB hard drive, managing these data volumes is a breeze.
Trust in WD. The legendary reliable WD Blue drives are designed, built, and tested for long hard drive life and come with a two-year warranty.
Easy data backup, quick upgrade. The software "Acronis True Image WD Edition," available as a free download, can clone drives and back up your operating system, applications, settings, and data.
Technology to protect your data. The NoTouch ramp load technology parks the read/write head in a safe position away from the hard drive surface to protect your data.
