The combination of extremely large storage capacity and low power consumption was irresistible so we just had to give it a try. Was Western Digital able to deliver the same tremendous performance we saw in the smaller capacity 500 GB Caviar GP? Read on and find out! Here's a quote from the review :- Quote:

Also, because of this power saving, the side effect also a reduce of operation temperature and acoustic. I bet you barely notice it spinning or vibrating without touching. Lower operation temperature means also more reliable drive If only the review includes, acoustic and temperature measurement, this drive would stand out further |
