As hard drive capacities increase, the power required to run those drives
increases as well. Currently available standard 1 TB hard drives have a typical
power consumption rating greater than 13.5 watts. WD has designed the first
3.5-inch hard drives that deliver power savings as the primary attribute.

WD Caviar GP drives yield average drive power savings of 4-5 watts over
competitors’ drives and make 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.

That power savings equates to reducing CO

emission by up to
13.8 kilograms per drive per year—the equivalent of taking a car off the road
for three days each year*.

By using environmentally-conscious PCs with our WD Caviar GP drives on
board, large organizations with many desktop computers can minimize their
carbon footprint and save real money on electricity costs.

the car's g/km emission levels and km/year of driving).
Product Features
IntelliPower™ — A fine-tuned balance of spin speed, transfer rate, and caching
algorithms designed to deliver both significant power savings and solid performance.
For each GreenPower™ drive model, WD may use a different, invariable RPM.
