Product details

Expand your PC with WD Blue drives, available in a variety of storage capacities specifically designed for desktop and all-in-one PCs.

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, handling these data volumes is a breeze.

Trust WD. The legendary reliable WD Blue drives are designed, built, and tested for long disk life and come with a two-year warranty.

Easy data backup, fast 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 drive's surface to protect your data.
