About WD WD10EARS Caviar Green 1TB SATA HDD

The WD WD Caviar Green SATA 3.5" Hard Drive (1TB) is an environmentally friendly drive that features ample storage, quiet operation and low power consumption. With a 1TB storage capacity, SATA interface and transfer speeds up to 3 Gb/s, it's ideal for demanding desktop applications that require high performance. The Caviar Green benefits from ShockGuard technology that protects the drive mechanics from shocks. It also uses NoTouch, which prevents the recording heads from resting on the disk during spin up, spin down and when the drive is off. This results in a more reliable drive due to the limited head wear. The Caviar Green is also tested rigorously to ensure compatibility with most systems.

WD WD10EARS Caviar Green 1TB SATA HDD Features

  • SATA Interface: Ultra-fast 3 Gb/s SATA interface speed yields performance fit for demanding desktop applications
  • Green Machine: Reduced power consumption makes it possible for this drive to have a 1TB storage capacity and the right balance of system performance, ensured reliability and energy conservation
  • Ample Storage: With a 1TB storage capacity for a 3.5" form factor drive, the WD Caviar Green offers the highest capacity for space-hungry operating systems with plenty of room left over for photos, music and video
  • ShockGuard: Instantaneously protects the hard drive against damage from bumps and vibrations while it is running. This technology enables WD Caviar drives to achieve industry-leading shock specifications
  • NoTouch Ramp Load Technology: NoTouch keeps the recording heads off the disk surface during spin up, spin down and when the drive is off. This ensures the recording head never touches the disk surface, resulting in improved long term reliability due to less head wear
  • Cool & Quiet: Keeping the drive cool enhances reliability. WD continues to develop better ways to keep drives cool while they are operating which helps protect the drive and the data stored on it
  • IntelliPower: This feature combines a balance of spin speed, transfer rate and caching algorithms in order to deliver both significant power savings and solid performance. Additionally, WD Caviar Green drives consume less current during startup allowing lower peak loads on systems as they are booted
