WD Caviar Green 1TB Greenpower 7200 RPM SATA 3GB/s 16 MB Internal Hard Drive

Product Description Western Digital Caviar® Green™ Energy-saving 3.5" hard drive, 1TB, SATA 3Gb/s, 16MB cache cooler. Quiet. More environmentally friendly. Compared to standard desktop drives, the WD Caviar Green SATA hard drive reduces energy consumption by up to 40% and offers the lowest noise and operating temperature in its class. Based on exclusive WD GreenPower™ technology, this 3.5-inch hard drive is the first type of drive where energy saving is the most important attribute. By using eco-friendly PCs and external hard drives with this WD Caviar Green drive, large businesses with a variety of desktop computers can minimize carbon dioxide emissions and save significant energy costs. Ideal for reducing power consumption and keeping PCs, external storage devices and other devices cool and quiet. Reduced energy consumption – Combining WD technologies IntelliSeek™, NoTouch™ and IntelliPower™, WD has reduced energy consumption by up to 40% compared to standard desktop drives. Environmentally conscious - WD Caviar Green drives achieve an average power saving of 4-5 watts compared to standard desktop drives. This allows our energy-conscious customers to build systems with higher storage capacities and the right balance of system performance, guaranteed reliability and energy savings. Cool and quiet - GreenPower technology brings lower temperatures for increased reliability and low noise for super-quiet PCs and external drives. The more storage capacity on the hard drives, the more power it takes to run them. WD Caviar Green drives enable energy-conscious customers to build systems with higher storage capacities and the right balance of system performance, guaranteed reliability and energy savings. Extremely high capacity - Capacities up to 2TB guarantee maximum storage availability for demanding programs and space-consuming operating systems such as Windows Vista®. In addition, there is still enough space for your photos, music and videos. Perfect for external hard drives - With an WD Caviar Green drive, the coolest and quietest drive in the high capacity range, external drive manufacturers eliminate the need for a fan, even in high-capacity products. IntelliPower - The fine-tuned balance of spin speed, transfer rates and caching algorithms ensures both significant energy savings and solid performance. IntelliSeek - Calculates optimal search speed to reduce power consumption, noise and vibration. NoTouch ramp loading technology - Prevents contact between the recording head and the drive surface. This ensures significantly less wear of the recording head and better protection of the drive during transport. Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR) - WD RE2-GP hard drives use PMR technology to achieve higher surface density. Lower Power Consumption - WD Caviar Green drives consume less power when booted. This allows for lower peak loads. Innovative power supply technology - Electronic components offer uniquely low power consumption for special power consumption requirements and higher reliability. WD Caviar Green is part of the complete range of desktop hard drives Manufacturer's 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. Overall power consumption has been reduced by up to 40% compared to standard desktop drives with the combination of WD's IntelliSeek, IntelliPark and IntelliPower technologies. Caviar Green drives yield an average drive power savings of 4-5 watts over standard desktop drives making it possible for energy-conscious customers to build systems with higher capacities and the right balance of system performance, ensured reliability, and energy conservation. These power savings equate to reducing CO2 emission by up to 13.8 kilograms per drive per year. By using environmentally-conscious PCs with Caviar Green drives, large organisations with many desktop computers can minimise their carbon footprint and make real savings.
