IntelliSeek™ - Calculates optimum seek speeds to lower power consumption, noise and vibration. View demo >

SecurePark™ -  Parks the recording heads off the disk surface during spin up, spin down and when the drive is off.  This ensures the recording head never touches the disk surface resulting in improved long term reliability due to less head wear, and improved non- operational shock tolerance.

StableTrac™ - The motor shaft is secured at both ends to reduce system-induced vibration and stabilize platters for accurate tracking, during read and write operations.
