This new product family incorporates ramp load technology, a proven technique in mobile-class drives that parks the recording heads when the drive is idle, powered off and spinning up. WD utilizes ramp load in its new desktop products to maximize shock robustness and minimize power consumption, enabling continued leadership in quality and long-term reliability.
'Our high density 160 GB-per-platter design with ramp load is a platform that enables WD to continue serving our customers' growing needs for dependable, high capacity hard drives,'
said Hafeez Khawaja, WD's Senior Regional Director, Middle East, Africa and South Asia. 'Through its portfolio of high-performance, high-capacity drives, WD has established a strong presence in the Middle East market, and the new 160 GB-per-platter desktop drives will enable us to further strengthen our regional standing.'
