Performance and Reliability for Everyday Computing The WD Caviar Blue series of hard drives offers a full range of performance features, making it the ideal choice for everyday computing needs. With SATA and PATA interfaces and cache sizes up to 32 MB, these drives are built to the highest standards of quality and reliability. Interface Options for Flexibility and Compatibility Choose between PATA and SATA interfaces to suit your specific needs. PATA, also known as Parallel ATA or EIDE, has been the standard in the computer industry for over a decade. SATA, on the other hand, is quickly becoming the new standard with its narrower cables, increased airflow, and less clutter in the computer system. Both interfaces offer impressive data transfer rates, with PATA supporting up to 100MB/sec and all WD Caviar Blue SATA drives supporting 3 Gb/s transfer rates. Our handy Interface Guide can help you make the right choice for your system.
