About this product

Product Information

The Western Digital Caviar Green 2 TB internal HDD hard drive can make your desktop computer perform even better, because it can allow you to store very large amounts of data. In addition, it runs at 7200 RPM, which can help your PC run even faster. Since it has a large cache, it can run applications that use a lot of data, as well as multimedia applications. It can also calculate the optimum speed it needs to run, so it can lower the amount of power consumed, as well as the amount of noise and vibration it produces. The drive has reduced power consumption, which makes it possible for energy conscious people to build systems with higher capacity and the right balance of system performance, ensured reliability, and energy conservation.Data loss can be very costly, particularly for organizations in the small business market. The result can be catastrophic with an inability to bounce back from. At the very least, critical data loss can have a financial impact on companies of all sizes.An effective backup strategy or device needs to be in place to prevent large data loss. Tape drives can still represent the most versatile and economical backup solution. With careful consideration and planning, you can create a backup schedule that provides complete protection of your data without disrupting your business.The SATA II interface feature of the hard drive supports up to 3.0 Gb/s data transfer rates, Native Command Queuing (NCQ) and hot pluggable point to point connections for optimum performance, efficiency, convenience and flexibility. As automation advances, the need for larger size repositories increases, especially for intensive gaming and other applications. Without the proper size, your computer may lag or freeze, because it is unable to handle the amount of data required to complete such operations.The IntelliSeek feature provides adequate seek speeds to decrease power consumption and vibration.The 2TB capacity holds up to 400,000 digital photos, 500,000 MP3 files, and 240 hours of HD video. Transfer rate and caching algorithms are designed to deliver significant power savings.The Western Digital Green hard disk drive has Perpendicular Magnetic recording technology, which can enable a high storage capacity in existing standard form factors and improve execution by increasing data density, while reducing moving parts for enhanced reliability.The Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB internal hard disk drive, model number WD20EARS, features the StableTrac technology, which can secure the motor shaft at either end. As a result, it can compensate by reducing the system's vibration to allow for accurate tracking during read and write operations. It has a 64MB cache, a form factor of 3.5 inches, Spindle Speed fixed between 5400-7200 RPM, and an Average Seek Time of 8.9ms.This disk drive can install as easily as any traditional hard drive without special drivers or downloads required and are compatible with most typical computer configurations, including Mac and the latest Windows operating systems. It can have the ability to store up to and over 60 software applications and still have a good amount of space left.Prioritizing frequently used data, the system can adapt and learn, resulting in optimization over time.

After buying one of these drive enclosures from this seller, I liked it so much that I bought another. Both of them came well packaged, were in better than listed condition -- in all respects as good as new -- and they arrived quickly. I recommend this seller as being professional and reliable.

    works, using as an external hard drive.

    Drive came formatted as an apple drive. Had to format it as windows drive. Appears to function well. Time will tell.

    Reliability GREAT, Performance not so great. AWESOME price though :)

    I bought this drive to use as an archive device. I use it to store data, plain and simple. This drive is not so hot on the speed, but it is reliable on the storage side. It is a really good drive, and I like the green features. I just wouldnt recommend it as a system drive. It is slow to recover from slowdown, and it's data transfer rate isnt spectacular either. None of that matters to me. I wanted a reliable drive that would last, and that makes this drive a perfect fit for how I use it.

    Great drive for storage but dont use it as a boot drive.

    The Western Digital Green series drives offer a great value. They are not the fastest drives, but they are not intended to be. They are not intended to be boot drives, and if use one for a boot drive you have done the drive and yourself a disservice. They are intended to be high capacity drives that are reliable and conserve power. They do this very well.

    Solid, Stable Drive

    Purchased 4 of these for a RAID array. Despite rumors that this "green" drive is not RAID compatible, I have not had any problems with the drives dropping out. The drives do go "green" by shutting down and parking the read heads when not in use to save energy. It takes a few seconds for the drives to turn back on after being dormant. But once spinning again, data transfer is exceptional. I am able to do upwards of 120mb/sec through a gigabit network connection. I would expect, with the green feature, the drives should have a longer lifespan than non-green drives. Also the energy savings will add up over the long run. I would recommend this drive for normal day to day usage. If you are looking for high end performance, choose the more costly Velociraptor or caviar black ...

    Excellent disk for external hard drive

    I replaced a 500GB HD in a WD MyBook Pro with this 2TB Caviar Green and it works very well. Installation was easy, data is accessed quickly and the disk is quiet and energy efficient. I would definitely recommend for this type of application or even a secondary internal disk. This would probably work fine as an internal HD, although the Caviar Blue and Black lines are more aptly designed for an internal application.
