Lightning Fast – With state-of-the-art SATA II 3Gb/sec transfer rates
and 16 MB of cache, these drives push the boundaries of performance for their
class.
Cool Running – Cool drive operating temperatures help increase
long-term drive reliability. WD achieves the lowest operating temperature of any
hard drive in its class, by lowering power consumption through advanced
electronics and firmware.
Ultra Quiet – WD minimizes noise to levels virtually below the
threshold of human hearing with its WhisperDrive technology, which features a
highly efficient power driver design. And to cut seek noise, Soft Seek
technology streamlines read/write seeking algorithms.
SecureConnect – provides a 500 percent stronger cable-to-drive
connection than first-generation SATA hard drives and cables. Also ensures
backward compatibility with legacy SATA cables and back planes.
FlexPower – connector technology that accepts power from both
industry-standard and new SATA power supplies.
1TB Western Digital SATA II GreenPower Drive –
Currently available 1 TB hard drives have a typical power consumption rating
greater than 13.5 watts. Western Digital has designed the first 3.5-inch hard
drives that deliver power savings as the primary attribute. Green Power drives
from Western Digital yield average drive power savings of 4-5 watts over
competitors' drives while maintaining solid performance.
That power savings equates to reducing CO2 emission by
up to 60 kilograms per drive per year - the equivalent of taking your car off
the road for 14 days each year. This new platform makes 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.
