IntelliSeek
- Calculates optimum seek speeds to lower power consumption, noise and vibration.

IntelliPark
- Delivers lower power consumption by automatically unloading the heads during idle to reduce aerodynamic drag.
Preemptive Wear Leveling PWL - The drive arm frequently sweeps across the disk to reduce uneven wear on the drive surface common to audio video streaming applications.
