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
- WD GreenPower Technology yields lower operating temperatures for
increased reliability and low acoustics for ultra-quiet PCs and
external drives.
Massive capacity
- Capacities up to 2 TB offer the most available capacity for
storage-intensive programs and space-hungry operating systems, like
Windows 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.
StableTrac
- The motor shaft is secured at both ends to reduce system-induced
vibration and stabilize platters for accurate tracking, during read and
write operations. (2 TB models only)
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.
