Our hard drives are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship in the system for which they were designed. Use in systems other than for what the hard drive was  

designed could result in compatibility problems that affect proper function, unrelated to material and/or workmanship defects. For best results, be sure to select the appropriate product

Product Features

Heat has a large impact on the 

overall reliability of a HDD’s life over 

time. It can also lead to increased 

power consumption, the requirement 

of additional fans and increased fan 

operation, increased noise levels and 

the increased chance of failure.  

WD Green drives come equipped 

with WD GreenPower Technology

™

 

which allows the drive to operate 

cooler with increased overall reliability.

Best-in-class power management, 

reduced heat output, and next-

generation technologies such as 

IntelliSeek

™

 offer a perfect balance of 

performance and power, making  

WD Green a leader in performance 

when compared to the competition ’s 

4 TB HDD.

Quiet acoustics, reduced vibration 

and advanced 4K HDD formatting 

makes WD Green a stronger solution 

when compared to the competition 

and perfect for PCs and external 

drive applications. WD Green also 

features a Dual Stage Actuator, which 

delivers higher precision motion 

for 2X the data performance and 

increases drive reliability.

Large capacity offerings of up 

to 4 TBs help expand customer 

capabilities and application usage 

of WD Green including primary 

installations in desktop PCs, as 

secondary storage in external cases 

or as reliable backup storage.

Reduced power consumption, 

improved data tracking, and  

WD GreenPower Technology all 

help to improve the overall reliability 

of WD Green making it an efficient 

solution that lowers your total cost of 

ownership. NoTouch

™

 Ramp Load 

Technology also protects the drive by 

ensuring the recording head never 

touches the disk media, reducing 

wear and tear to the head and 

increases drive reliability.
