NoTouch Ramp Load technology
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.

Low power consumption
State-of-the-art seeking algorithms and advanced power management features ensure low power consumption

Tested for compatibility
