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. Key Features Reduced power consumption
- WD has reduced power consumption by up to 40 percent compared to standard desktop drives with the combination of WDs Intelli Seek™, No Touch™, & Intelli Power™ 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 & the right balance of system performance, ensured reliability, & energy conservation. This power savings equates to reducing CO2 emission by up to 13.8 kilograms per drive per year
- the equivalent of taking a car off the road for 3 days each year*. By using environmentally-conscious PCs with our WD Caviar Green drives on board, large organizations with many desktop computers can minimize their carbon footprint & save real money on electricity costs. Cool & quiet
- Green Power™ technology yields lower operating temperatures for increased reliability & low acoustics for ultra-quiet PCs & external drives. 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 & quietest in its class. Intelli Power
- A fine-tuned balance of spin speed, transfer rate & caching algorithms designed to deliver both significant power savings & solid performance. Intelli Seek
- Calculates optimum seek speeds to lower power consumption, noise, & vibration. 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. 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 & increased reliability. Environmentally friendly PCs & external storage requiring lower power consumption & cool, quiet operation. Please note: networking components such as switches, routers, UPS & wireless devices require that speeds & standards be consistent throughout the network to gain optimum performance.
