Applications
WD Green hard drives are tested and recommended for use as secondary storage in PCs, external enclosures and applications that require cool and quiet
operation.*
* WD hard drives are designed and tested for use in specific applications and environments. This ensures that your hard drive is compatible with and functions properly in your application.
Our hard drives are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship in the system for which they were designed. Use in systems other than for what the hard drive was
designed could result in compatibility problems that affect proper function, unrelated to material and/or workmanship defects. For best results, be sure to select the appropriate product
selection process.
