Introduction
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
and the right balance of system performance, ensured
reliability, and energy conservation.
Features
- Reduced
power consumption - WD has reduced power consumption
by up to 40 percent compared to competitors' drives
with the combination of WD's IntelliSeek™,
IntelliPark™, and IntelliPower™ technologies.
- Helps
enable eco-friendly PCs - WD Caviar Green drives
yield an average drive power savings of 4-5 watts
over competitors' 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. 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 and save real
money on electricity costs.
- Assumes
that a car produces 1.60 CO2 pounds per Kwatt/hours/year.
Calculation of automobile emissions depends on
the car's g/km emission levels and km/year of
driving.
- Cool
and Quiet - GreenPower™ technology yields
lower operating temperatures for increased reliability
and low acoustics for ultra-quiet PCs and 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
and quietest in its class. External drives with
WD Caviar Green drives on board can save up to
$14.00 per year in electricity costs. See our
power savings chart for details.
- IntelliPower
- A fine-tuned balance of spin speed, transfer
rate and caching algorithms designed to deliver
both significant power savings and solid performance.
Additionally, WD Caviar Green drives consume less
current during startup allowing lower peak loads
on systems as they are booted.
- IntelliSeek
- Calculates optimum seek speeds to lower power
consumption, noise and vibration.
- IntelliPark
- Delivers lower power consumption by automatically
unloading the heads during idle to reduce aerodynamic
drag.
- 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.
