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.

Main Features:

  • Reduced power consumption - WD has reduced power consumption 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 - Drives with WD GreenPower Technology yield 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
  • Advanced Format (AF) - Technology being adopted by WD and other drive manufacturers as one of multiple ways to continue growing hard drive capacities. AF is a more efficient media format that enables increased areal densities
2TB Hard Drive
This system includes a 2TB hard drive to provide great performance and storage space. To put things in perspective, 2TB will allow you to store up to 409,600 average photographs, 152 hours of very high quality video or 512,000 average length songs!

Q: Hi, it states that there is 3 years warranty on these drives, can you please confirm this as I've heard that WD have reduced their warranties to 2 years? Thanks, Simon
Answer by CCL on 21st July 2012
Apologies, it appears that this drive has slipped through when the warranties changed, and is indeed 2 years. We shall have this updated shortly. -Danlevan

Q: Hi, I already have 2x 2TB WD20EARS drives and am moving to a Raid 5 setup with an additional 2 drives. I believe the only difference is SATA 2/3? I am unsure as to whether they will be compatible in a Raid setup as the drives usually need to be identical? Will these drives work, but only operate at SATA2? Could you please confirm? P.S. I am considering this as an enclosure: http://www.cclonline.com/product/64219/S354UFER/External-HDD-Enclosure/StarTech-3-5-inch-4-Drive-eSATA-USB-FireWire-External-SATA-RAID-Enclosure/HDD3434/ Thanks very much.
Answer by CCL on 14th June 2012
It should work, however it will depend on the raid controller of the device you are using, unfortunately I am not able to guarantee that it will work.

Q: Hi, Re: Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB internal 3.5" internal SATA drives... I need to ensure that the drive is a three platter version. Are you able to read the full product code from the front of the drive please? e.g. WD20EARX-00PASB0 or, from the WD20EARS version, do you have WD20EARS-00MVWB0? Thanks Steve
Answer by CCL on 7th June 2012
The current stock as of 07/06/2012 are WD20EARX-00PASB0 we do not currently have stock of any other version of this drive.

Q: I am looking to buy an hard drive to impove my perfromce sore to 7.5. sorry about the selling I am dislixic.
Answer by CCL on 21st May 2012
A 7200Rpm hard drive would increase your score more than this drive due to its higher read speed, but still would not get to 7.5. You would need an SSD to reach that figure. -Danlevan

Q: Hi wil this drive work with a D-LINK DNS 320 SHARE CENTER? thanks
Answer by CCL on 13th April 2012
Yes, this drive will work. However, as this is a slower storage drive, it will perform slower than a 7200Rpm drive. It will work fine, though. -Danlevan

Q: My motherboard is only 3gb/s. Will this drive work OK with it?
Answer by CCL on 10th March 2012
Yes, that will be fine. SATA I, II and III are fully backwards and forwards compatible, and will just run with the speed of the lowest connection. -Danlevan

Q: You say its got a rock solid reputation, but on Amazon there are lots of stories of this drive failing. I am looking for a disk to put in a synology NAS, how reliable is this one ?
Answer by CCL on 1st March 2012
I would have no problem recommending this drive, whilst not one of the quietest available in my experience (that tends to be the Samsung and Seagate 2TB drives) they are certainly good drives.
