Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB Hard Drive
As hard drive capacities increase, the power required to run those drives increases as well. Western Digital 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. WD has reduced power consumption by up to 40 percent compared to standard desktop drives with the combination of WD's IntelliSeek™, IntelliPark™, and IntelliPower™ technologies.
Help enable eco-friendly PCs
WD Caviar Green drives yield an average drive power savings of 4-5 watts over standard desktop drives 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. This power savings equates to reducing CO2 emission by up to 13.8 kilograms per drive per year - the equivalent of taking a car off the road for 3 days each year. By using environmentally-conscious PCs with our WD Caviar Green drives on board, large organizations with many desktop computers can minimize their carbon footprint and save real money on electricity costs.

THIS PRODUCT SHIPS IN OEM PACKAGING -
GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN
Manufacturers sometimes offer discounts when large quantities of products are purchased without fancy, colorful, retail packaging. We take advantage of these opportunities to bring you the same quality, retail product at a lower price. Retail packaging is designed to look good on a store shelf and attract your attention. It frequently includes more paper, plastic and cardboard than needed. OEM packaging is not as visually attractive but is far more economical and because OEM packaging uses less paper, plastic, ink and cardboard it creates less waste and is better for the environment. Although OEM packaged product ships in a plain white or brown box you can be assured it is the same quality product as the retail packaged version. Buying OEM packaged products saves you money and helps save the planet…GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN. Included accessories, software, documentation, and manufacturer warranties on OEM products may vary from retail versions. Please review our detailed specifications and photo gallery for included accessories and see below for warranty information.

I build a new system a couple months ago, and dropped in my WD 500GB drive in it to hold OS and software, and bought one of these 1TB drives to use as a source on the network to hold all the families files, videos, music, photos etc. It is whisper quiet, and works flawlessly for about 3 months now. I just ordered a 2nd one of these drives to RAID1 with the 1st one. I love WD drives, and being retired from IT will always use them over other drives. My old system I replaced was over 6 years old, and it had 6 drives in it that came from even older computers. Some of those drives were over 10 years old, and held old archived data for many years. All were ED drives. I have had other drives fail over the years, but do not remember any of my WD drives failing. Like I said, I just put them from one computer to the next one. On the last computer, I just decided to scrap all the old smaller WD drive. but, they still ran... Ya cant go wrong here.
awesome...

Absolutely great product. Everyone who whines about receiving a little less than 1TB after formatting needs to suck it up. Who gives a damn if you're 1TB or 60MB under? You can hardly fit anything in those 60MB, maybe a another crap-quality ripped cd. And if you others bothered to read the specs, you'd know the drive doesn't always spin at 7200rpm, that's why it is GREEN. Blame your own ignorance. Stop whining and nit-picking and enjoy it for what it is.
Love it

I bought this so i could put anything and everything on it. It does the job great. I love western digitals hard drives. I have had a 80gb WD hard drive for 11years now and it is still going. It is not very loud and does not get very hot. I do not like that people say formatted size may vary. They said that to me before buying. And It turned out i did not get the full 1tb i got 60mb less of 1tb. All are different i just wish it was over 1tb and not 60mb under
