  • Lower power consumption than other 1TB drives, very quiet and cool operation, good write performance
  • Slightly high cost per gigabyte, was a little sluggish in our file transfer test The Final Word This drive consumes less power than other 1TB drives, but it definitely isnt a slow coach. It was almost silent during our tests, and doesnt get too hot. ...
  • This drive consumes less power than other 1TB drives, but it definitely isnt a slow coach. It was almost silent during our tests, and doesnt get too hot. As such, its an ideal hard drive for a home theatre or small form factor PC, as well as being s...

  • Quiet, Doesn't heat up too much
  • 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...

  • Strong eco credentials
  • Slow and expensive
  • When did a terabyte of storage become passé? Probably when this became the second terabyte drive we reviewed. That does give us an advantage, as we have a drive to compare to this one - the Hitachi Deskstar 1TB.Western Digital always seems to stay in t...

  • Abstract:  Hitachi was the first hard drive maker to offer a 1 TB model, the Deskstar 7K1000, as early as the spring of 2007. Although Samsung and Seagate announced their 1 TB hard drives months ago, Samsung is past due, and Seagate’s first 7200.11 sample had to...

  • 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...

  • 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. ...

  • 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...

  • Silencieux, Ne chauffe pas beaucoup
  • 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....
