The higher standard in storage
Upgrade your PC with WD Blue drives, available in various storage capacities specifically designed for desktop and all-in-one PCs.
Boost 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.
Planning for the future
Enhanced technologies have increased storage needs. Digital cameras that record videos in Ultra HD at a resolution of 4K and 30 frames per second require a lot of storage 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 hard drive life.
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.
