Western Digital 2 TB Caviar Green Serial ATA Hard Disk Drive Review

Dashken · 23rd Mar 2009, 07:21 PM

There was once a 40 MB hard disk drive was considered state-of-the-art. Now, Western Digital gives us a hard disk drive of the same physical size, but with 50,000 times the capacity! We present - the 2 TB Western Digital Caviar Green hard disk drive!

The new 2 TB Caviar Green drive not only comes with a super-large storage capacity but also these features :

Quote:

- 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.
- Cool and quiet - GreenPower™ technology yields lower operating temperatures for increased reliability and low acoustics for ultra-quiet PCs and external drives.
- 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.
- 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.

Let's find out just how much well this hard disk drive performs!
