Western Digital 750GB Caviar Green 3.5" SATA Internal Hard Drive - WD7500AADS

Western Digital 750GB Caviar Green 3.5" SATA Internal Hard Drive, Model WD7500AADS

As hard drive capacities increase, the power required to run those drives increases as well. WD Caviar Green drives make it possible for energy-conscious customers to build systems with higher capacities and the right balance of system performance, ensured reliability, and energy conservation.

Features:

• 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, NoTouch, 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
• Cool and Quiet
  WD 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
• IntelliPower
  A fine-tuned balance of spin speed, transfer rate and caching algorithms designed to deliver both significant power savings and solid performance
• IntelliSeek
  Calculates optimum seek speeds to lower power consumption, noise, and vibration
• NoTouch ramp load technology
  The recording head never touches the disk media ensuring significantly less wear to the recording head and media as well as better drive protection in transit
• 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. (2 TB models only)
• Advanced power technology
  Electronic components deliver best-in-class low power consumption for reduced power requirements and increased reliability
