Cool, Quiet Hard Drives

IntelliPower:

A fine-tuned balance of spin speed, transfer rate and caching algorithms designed to deliver both significant power savings and solid performance. Additionally, GreenPower drives consume less current during startup allowing lower peak loads on systems as they are booted.

IntelliSeek:

Calculates optimum seek speeds to lower power consumption, noise, and vibration.

NoTouch ramp load technology:

Designed to ensure the recording head never touches the disk media resulting in significantly less wear to the recording head and media, as well as better drive protection in transit.

MSRP for the WD Caviar Green 1 TB hard drives(model WD10EADS) is $219.00 USD
