Western Digital Caviar SATA II Hard Drives (Serial ATA II)
Cool-running, quiet operation, leading-edge performance and industry-leading reliability make these
next generation WD Caviar
SATA II drives the perfect hard drives for desktop and enterprise storage.
SATA II 300 MB/sec Interface (SATA II 3Gb/sec)
16 MB cache buffer size
250GB, 500GB and 750GB - 7200 rpm
1TB drive employs IntelliPower technology a
fine tuned balance of spin speed, transfer rate and caching algorithms designed
to deliver solid performance and significant power savings.
Lightning Fast – With state-of-the-art SATA II 300 MB/s 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.
