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.
