Good performance, Silent operation, No Heat-related issues.
Small buffer for a 1 TB drive, Expensive.
The WD10EACS 1 TB hard drive is available for Rs. 20,500 with a 5-year warranty. The price is a little overboard considering the fact that the Hitachi 7K1000 costs at least 2000 bucks less and is at least 40% faster. The Hitachi has my vote, for now. ...
Performance levels significantly down on the best hard drives, No 2 TB version (unless you move up to 32 MB or 64 MB cache versions)
The Caviar Greens aren't the fastest of drives. They are however very quiet and heat up very little, which is an indication of durability. This makes them an ideal choice for use as a storage drive in a PC or NAS server....
Abstract: The main selling point of the Caviar Green is its low power consumption. This means it runs a little quieter, generates less heat and reduces electricity bills. The 2.8W power rating when idle is less than half the average of the 3½in disks reviewed...

We will do some summarizing now. First of all, we can name the fastest 1-terabyte drive in all our tests. It is the WD RE3 (WD1002FBYS). This is the best buy if you prefer maximum performance. But if you don’t like its high price, you can take the W...
The results found here today are right around what I anticipated. In HD Tune, we see that the average transfer rates are very close - .7 MB/sec to be exact. In HD Tach, the burst speed of the 1 TB drive really shines, while again, the averages were ve...
Abstract: The Western Digital 1 TB Caviar GP delivers a terabyte of storage capacity with low power consumption at a relatively low cost. If large, affordable storage capacity in a single drive is what you are looking for, then this is the drive you are looking ...
Despite their sub-7200 RPM spindle speeds, Western Digitals GreenPower drives proved they can hang with, and even beat, some respectable 7200 RPM drives (and a 10k RPM drive for that matter) in many tests. The drives offer solid performance despite t...
