I've Gotta' Whole Lotta' Hard Drives Goin' On
Posted by Jason Dunn in "Digital Home Talk" @ 09:12 AM
Four of these 1 Terrabyte Western Digital Caviar Green hard drives arrived for me yesterday - aren't they pretty? The key benefit these hard drives offer is power-related: they use only 6 watts when in use, 4 watts at idle, and only 0.8 watts at sleep or idle. They achieve this through a variety of technologies, including a variable RPM of 5400 to 7200. Clever stuff! Would anyone like to guess what I'm going to be using them for?
