WD Caviar® Green™
SATA Hard Drives
1.5 TB, 32 MB Cache, SATA 3 Gb/s
Cool, quiet, eco-friendly.
WD Caviar Green drives use less power and support quieter, cooler-running desktop PCs and external storage devices.
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.
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 - 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
Window 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. View demo >
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.
Ideal For
Environmentally friendly PCs and external storage requiring lower power consumption and cool, quiet operation.
