The WD Caviar SE16 has the industry buzzing.
“The benchmarks speak for themselves: Western Digital
took the winning Caviar SE16 formula, added
perpendicular recording, and created a huge, yet speedy
7200RPM hard drive in the form of the WD7500AAKS.”
“Overall, none of the other drives could touch the
WD7500AAKS in our benchmarks.”

Technology Features
Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR) — The latest
generation of WD Caviar SE16 drives employs PMR
technology to achieve even greater areal density.
IntelliSeek — Calculates optimum seek speeds to lower power
consumption, noise, and vibration.
SecurePark — Parks the recording heads off the disk surface
during spin up, spin down and when the drive is off, resulting in
improved long term reliability.
StableTrac — Secures the motor shaft at both ends to reduce
system-induced vibration and stabilize platters for accurate
tracking during read and write operations.
