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 & the right balance of system performance, ensured reliability, & energy conservation. Reduced power consumption
- WD has reduced power consumption making it possible for energy conscious customers to build systems with higher capacities & the right balance of system performance, ensured reliability, & energy conservation Cool & quiet
- drives that benefit from WD Green Power Technology yield lower operating temperatures for increased reliability & low acoustics for ultra-quiet PCs & external drives Intelli Power technology
- a fine-tuned balance of spin speed, transfer rate, & caching algorithms designed to deliver both significant power savings & solid performance No Touch ramp load technology
- the recording head never touches the disk media ensuring significantly less wear to the recording head & media as well as better drive protection in transit Advanced Format (AF)
- technology being adopted by WD & other drive manufacturers as one of multiple ways to continue growing hard drive capacities. AF is a more efficient media format that enables increased areal densities
