FEATURES

Trusted engineering
Built to WD’s highest standards of quality and reliability, WD Blue offers the features and entry-level capacities 
that are ideal for your computing needs. WD Blue is designed by the brand that you trust with the quality you would 
expect for a tested, proven, everyday storage solution.



A modern classic
WD Blue storage is designed and manufactured with technology found in WD’s original award-winning 
desktop and mobile hard drives. WD Blue sets the baseline for everyday storage by consistently delivering 
improved performance over previous generations while successfully maintaining WD’s quality and reliability 
for over six generations. The difference is that our colors never fade, generation after generation.


Your power of choice
WD Blue is available in a broad range of entry-level capacities, cache sizes, form factors and interfaces 
so you can be sure there’s a drive that’s the perfect fit for your system. However, not all hard drives are 
created equally and for your applications that demand more, WD gives you the power of choice.


Drive with confidence
We perform tests on hundreds of systems, configurations, and a multitude of platforms in our 
FIT Lab™ to give our customers the confidence that our drives will work in their systems for
the ultimate compatibility. WD Blue allows you to use our drive with confidence, knowing that 
our storage advancements such as NoTouch™ Ramp Load technology are proven and 
reliable everyday solutions.

Easy upgrade
Acronis True Image, available as a download on the WD Support website, enables you to copy 
all your data to a new drive so you don't have to reinstall your operating system to get all the 
benefits of a new drive.

SATA or PATA, the choice is yours
While SATA has become the industry standard interface, WD continues to manufacture
desktop drives with a PATA interface for unique or legacy systems.

The WD advantage
WD puts our products through extensive Functional Integrity Testing (F.I.T.) prior to any product
launch. This testing ensures our products consistently meet the highest quality and reliability 
standards of the WD brand. WD also has a detailed Knowledge Base with more than 1,000
helpful articles as well as helpful software and utilities. Our customer support lines have longer
operational hours to ensure you get the help you need when you need it. Our toll-free customer 
support lines are here to help or you can access our WD Support site for additional details.

Recommended use
WD Blue storage is tested and recommended for use in desktop and All-in-One PCs, industrial 
applications, notebooks, and external enclosures where capacity is not needed. For additional 
capacity, look at WD Green capacity storage drives.
