Reduced power
consumption - WD has reduced power consumption by
up to 40 percent compared to standard desktop drives with
the combination of WD's IntelliSeek™, IntelliPark™, and
IntelliPower™ technologies.
Helps enable
eco-friendly PCs - WD Caviar Green drives yield
an average drive power savings of 4-5 watts over standard
desktop drives making 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. This power savings equates to
reducing CO2 emission by up to 13.8 kilograms per
drive per year - the equivalent of taking a car off the road
for 3 days each year*. By using environmentally-conscious
PCs with our WD Caviar Green drives on board, large
organizations with many desktop computers can minimize their
carbon footprint and save real money on electricity costs.
*Assumes that a car produces 1.60 CO2 pounds per
Kwatt/hours/year. Calculation of automobile emissions
depends on the car's g/km emission levels and km/year of
driving.
Cool and Quiet
- GreenPower™ technology yields lower operating
temperatures for increased reliability and low acoustics for
ultra-quiet PCs and external drives.
Perfect for external
drives - External drive manufacturers can
eliminate the need for a fan in a high-capacity product with
a WD Caviar Green drive, the coolest and quietest in its
class. External drives with WD Caviar Green drives on board
can save up to $14.00 per year in electricity costs. See our
power savings chart for details.
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.

IntelliPark
-
Delivers
lower power consumption by automatically unloading the heads
during idle to reduce aerodynamic drag.
Perpendicular
Magnetic Recording (PMR) - Employs PMR technology
to achieve even greater areal density.
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. (750 GB and 1 TB
only)
