| Description:
As hard drive capacities increase, the power
required to run those drives increases as well. WD Caviar Green drives
make it possible for energy-conscious customers to build systems with
higher capacities and the right balance of system performance, ensured
reliability, and energy conservation.
Features:
Reduced power consumption - WD has reduced power consumption by up
to 40 percent compared to standard desktop drives with the combination
of WD's IntelliSeek, NoTouch, and IntelliPower technologies.
Helps enable eco-friendly PCs - WD Caviar Green drives yield an average
drive power savings of 4-5 watts over standard desktop drives making it
possible for our energy-conscious customers to build systems with
higher capacities and the right balance of system performance, ensured
reliability, and energy conservation. Cool and quiet - WD
GreenPower Technology yields lower operating temperatures for increased
reliability and low acoustics for ultra-quiet PCs and external drives.
Massive capacity - Capacities up to 2 TB offer the most available
capacity for storage-intensive programs and space-hungry operating
systems, like Windows Vista, with plenty of room left over for photos,
music, and video. Perfect for external drives - External
drive manufacturers can eliminate the need for a fan in a high-capacity
product with a WD Caviar Green drive, the coolest and quietest in its
class. IntelliPower - A fine-tuned balance of spin speed,
transfer rate and caching algorithms designed to deliver both
significant power savings and solid performance. IntelliPower
- A fine-tuned balance of spin speed, transfer rate and caching
algorithms designed to deliver both significant power savings and solid
performance. IntelliSeek - Calculates optimum seek speeds to lower power consumption, noise, and vibration.
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. Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR) - Employs PMR technology to achieve even greater areal density.
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. (2 TB models only) Low power spin-up - WD Caviar Green drives consume less current during startup allowing lower peak loads.
Advanced power technology - Electronic components deliver best-in-class
low power consumption for reduced power requirements and increased
reliability.
