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. This is an OEM Product.

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: GreenPower technology yields lower operating temperatures for increased reliability and low acoustics for ultra-quiet PCs and external drives. Massive capacity: Capacities up to 1 TB offer the most available capacity for storage-intensive programs and space-hungry operating systems, like Window 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. 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. 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.
