3tb Internal Hard Drive Mac Pro

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.

Brand: Western Digital Model: WD10000CSRTL Platform: Windows Format: CD-ROM Original language: English Number of items: 1 Dimensions: .0" h x .0" w x .0" l, 1.25 pounds Hard Disk: 1000GB A fine-tuned balance of spin speed, transfer rate and caching algorithms designed to deliver both significant power savings and performance. Calculates optimum seek speeds to lower power consumption, noise and vibration. Delivers lower power consumption by automatically unloading the heads during idle to reduce aerodynamic drag. Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR), to achieve even greater areal density. The motor shaft is secured at both ends to reduce system-induced vibration and stabilize platters for accurate tracking

You're upset because this "Intellipower" concept allows hard drive speeds as low as 5400 rpm, but can be as high as 7200 rpm. So which is it- high performing drive or budget friendly consumer class model? It's both. This new variable spin speed system is absolutely transparent in operation. You don't notice lag, you don't hear odd sounds; quite the opposite, this drive is whisper quiet. It's a fast drive, has boatloads of space, and is priced pretty reasonably to boot. If you are looking for all out insane speed, get a Raptor-X or a 15K RPM SCSI setup. If you want a drive that will boot fast, hold your whole iTunes library and maybe even help Mother Nature a little bit, here's your answer. 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Inaudible, Super fast, and *Plenty* of Space By P. McGuire My 320 GB WD Caviar was getting too full I did some searching around for a 1TB drive (as a secondary drive to my computer). Slashdot just happened to have an article on this drive the day I was looking to buy one. I was a little skeptical about the 5400 RPM but I was looking for a data drive not a OS drive. Well, this drive is nice... It is as fast as my 320GB 7200rpm drives (just doing MP3 transfers). It only took like 10 seconds to do a Quick Format - as with all drives you won't get the full 1TB due to formatting but everyone knows that. The drive is inaudible... I can't hear a THING - especially when using it. My old 320GB Western Digital Caviar clicked and clacked like the old 1GB drives ... So it is nice not having to listen to that anymore. Being "green" is kinda cool too. Nothing like helping everyone out a little by buying something that uses less electricity. I definitely recommend this drive. 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Solid performer, and its green. By T. W. Blackburn I bought three of these drives to fill out an HP EX470 home server. They have proven to be reliable, cool running, and quiet performers in their 24/7 environment. And on top of it all, they use less power. Excellent drives See all 27 customer reviews...
