Designed to install into an available 3.5"
internal drive bay of your desktop
Product Information
The 1TB Caviar GP 3.5" Internal SATA Hard Drive for Desktops from Western
Digital is a high-capacity internal drive. Boasting a Serial ATA interface that
allows for burst transfer rates of up to 300MB/sec, a large 16MB data buffer,
and a rotation speed of 7200rpm, this drive is an excellent solution for adding
storage capacity to your desktop workstation.
This environmentally friendly drive is designed with energy efficiency in mind.
The drive uses less power and runs at a cooler temperature when compared to its
competition. It features intelligent power management, seek performance, and
parking.
KeyFeatures Include
- Reduced power consumption
WD has reduced power consumption by up to 40 percent compared to competitors’
drives with the combination of WD's IntelliSeek, IntelliPark, and
IntelliPower technologies.
- Helps enable eco-friendly PCs
WD Caviar GP drives yield average drive power savings of 4-5 watts over
competitors’ 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 GP drives on
board, large organizations with many desktop computers can minimize their
carbon footprint and save real money on electricity costs.
- 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 GP drive, the coolest and quietest in
its class. External drives with WD Caviar GP drives on board can save on
electricity costs.
- 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.
- 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 area 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.
