Abstract: We have to admit that when starting this survey we were a bit pessimistic about the Western Caviar GP. And actually, the fact that no clear indication of its rotation speeds isn’t too transparent on Western’s part. This drive has a special spot on the...
Abstract: Our enthusiasm for the low noise WD 750GB Green Power hard drive prompted us to go hunting for the 1 TB flagship model so we could do more than speculate about it. With Western Digitals odd IntelliPower system for rating spindle speed, we wanted to co...

You save electricity with this drive, which makes you feel like an environmentally conscious allstar.
You really aren’t saving that much energy, and you’re sacrificing quite a bit of speed.
Abstract: Western Digitals Green Power range has been designed primarily to save power. The drives also do not have stated spin speeds, but rather a range of spin speeds under the Intellipower moniker (5,400-7,200rpm). The WD10EACS features four 250GB discs giv...
Kermit was right: it aint easy being green, er, power. Dialing back the Caviar GPs spindle speed predictably slows the drive, making the GreenPower a poor choice if youre looking for fast sequential transfer rates, quick load times, or great perform...
Lower power consumption than other 1TB drives, very quiet and cool operation, good write performance

Abstract: Hard drivesThe Caviar GP (for “Green Power”) is the first 1TB hard drive to have variable rotational speed, ranging from 5400 rpm to 7200 rpm; Western Digital credits that technological change with helping the hard drive reduce its power consumption.T...
Abstract: Mit lediglich 5400 Umdrehungen pro Minute arbeitet Western Digitals Terabyte-Festplatte Caviar GP WD10EACS. Das macht die 3,5-Zoll-Laufwerk traumhaft leise. Wie unser Test zeigt, wirkt sich das allerdings auch negativ auf die Geschwindigkeit aus. Akt...
Performances significativement en retrait des meilleurs disques durs, Pas de version 2 To (à moins de passer aux versions avec 32 Mo ou 64 Mo de cache)
Le Caviar Green n'est pas le plus rapide des disques durs. Il est, en revanche, le plus silencieux et celui qui chauffe le moins ; un gage de durabilité. Cela en fait un choix idéal comme disque de stockage de données dans un PC ou dans un NAS....
