Desktop Hard Drives
As hard drive capacities increase, the power required to run
those drives increases as well. WD Caviar Green drives
make it possible for energy-conscious customers to build
systems with higher capacities and the right balance of
system performance, ensured reliability, and energy
conservation.

IntelliPower
A fine-tuned balance of spin speed,
transfer rate, and caching algorithms
designed 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.

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. (2 TB model only)
