Upgrade your hard drive with ease for extra storage, industry-leading performance and superior reliability with WD’s Internal Drive Kits for laptop and desktop, now available from distributor Drive Control Corporation (DCC). Conveniently packaged with mounting screws and a quick installation guide, and available from retail outlets, these kits make replacing, upgrading or adding another hard drive PC and notebook easier than ever before.
“Consumers generate more data than ever, whether they use a laptop or a desktop computer, and they need enough capacity to store their music, movies, videos and more. Gamers particularly have a need for multiple hard drives for storing and playing different games.
“While external hard drives are easy to find and purchase at many stores, internal drives have traditionally needed to be ordered from resellers, which takes time and is inconvenient for the user. WD’s Internal Drive Kits make hard disk drives more available and accessible to the consumer, whether they need extra storage, backup, gaming drives or an upgrade,” says Ruben Naicker, WD Product Specialist at DCC.
The WD Laptop internal drive kits provide solid performance and reliability for mobile computing with state-of-the-art seeking algorithms and advanced power management features to ensure low power consumption and longer laptop battery life.
They are also tested on hundreds of systems and a multitude of platforms to ensure compatibility. The drives are available in capacities of between 320Gb and 1Tb with a Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) 3Gbps interface and 8Mb cache. These drives are ideal for everyday mobile computing and upgrading your laptop storage.
The WD Desktop kit features high performance drives with a dual processor and dynamic cache for power computing, available in capacities of between 2TB and 4TB with SATA 6 Gbps interface and a 64Mb cache. These drives can be used for additional storage, upgrades for high performance computing and workstations as well as photo and video editing, graphic and multimedia design and gaming applications.
Both drives feature NoTouch Ramp Load technology, which means that the recording head never touches the disk media, ensuring significantly less wear to the recording head and media as well as better drive protection in transit.
They are also compatible with Acronis True Image WD Edition software, which helps you seamlessly migrate to your new WD drive. Acronis enables you to copy all your data to a new drive without having to reinstall your Operating System (OS). The software is available as a free download on the WD Support site.
“With the availability of WD’s Internal Drive Kits, upgrading to take advantage of world-leading quality, reliability and performance has never been easier. Whether you need energy efficient mobile hard drives or powerful desktop drives, a range of capacities are available to suit all requirements,” Naicker concludes.
The WD Internal Drive Kits feature a warranty ranging from two to five years specific to the application of the drive and are available immediately from DCC and selected retail outlets. Recommended retail pricing starts from:
* WD Desktop Kit – R735.00 inclusive of VAT; and
* WD Laptop Kit – R992.95 inclusive of VAT.
