Cool, quiet operation with massive capacity.
WD Green The advantage of cool & quiet
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.
Power management with performance
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 6 TB HDD.
Reliability with an increased lifespan
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.
