Reduced Power Consumption WD has taken steps to reduce the power consumption of their Caviar Green drives by up to 40 percent compared to standard desktop drives. This is achieved through the use of WD's IntelliSeek, NoTouch, and IntelliPower technologies. Eco-Friendly PCs By using WD Caviar Green drives, customers can build energy-conscious PCs with higher capacities and a balance of performance, reliability, and energy conservation. On average, these drives save 4-5 watts of power compared to standard desktop drives, resulting in a reduction of up to 13.8 kilograms of CO2 emissions per drive per year. This is equivalent to taking a car off the road for 3 days each year*. This makes it possible for large organizations with many desktop computers to minimize their carbon footprint and save 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 The GreenPower technology used in WD Caviar Green drives results in lower operating temperatures, increasing 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 high-capacity products by using WD Caviar Green drives. These drives are the coolest and quietest in their class, making them ideal for use in external drives. IntelliPower WD Caviar Green drives feature IntelliPower, a fine-tuned balance of spin speed, transfer rate, and caching algorithms. This results in significant power savings without sacrificing performance.
