A few weeks ago, we reviewed one of Western Digital’s flagship drives, the Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB SATA hard drive. Like WD’s top end Velociraptors, the drive was engineered and designed for desktop performance with a 7200RPM spindle speed and dual processors to share the load. As a result, it tends to be noisier like its Velociratpor brother. It also consumes more power, like its Velociraptor brother. Today, we’re going to head to the quieter and more eco-friendly side of the Western Digital family.
Western Digital’s Caviar Green series represents drives that are quieter and that use far less power than their high performance counterparts. The high capacity of these drives also makes them ideal for devices that get turned on all day long like Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices or home theatre PCs. Today, we’ll be looking at the largest (and greenest) hard drives currently on the market, the Western Digital Caviar Green 2.0TB (WD20EADS).
