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: Massive capacity
- WD Caviar Green SATA drives now deliver up to a massive 3 TBs of storage on a single drive. WD meets the technological challenges of implementing 3 TB SATA hard drives
- SATA hard drives are now capable of storing up to 3 TB of data on a single hard drive. WD is leading the way in the industry, providing you with solutions for implementing 2.19 TB & larger drives. Reduced power consumption
- WD has reduced power consumption making it possible for our energy-conscious customers to build systems with higher capacities & the right balance of system performance, ensured reliability, & energy conservation. Cool & quiet
- Drives with WD Green Power Technology yield 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 by utilizing the cool & quiet operation of WD Caviar Green hard drives. Intelli Power
- A fine-tuned balance of spin speed, transfer rate & caching algorithms designed to deliver both significant power savings & solid performance. in addition, WD Caviar Green drives consume less current during startup allowing lower peak loads on systems as they are booted. 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. 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. (RS & RSDTL models only) Ideal For Desktop PCs & external storage requiring high capacity, low power consumption, & cool, quiet operation.
