As hard drive capacities increase, the power required to run those drives increases as well. WD 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
- Reduced power consumption — WD has reduced power consumption by up to 40% compared to standard desktop drives with the combination of WD’s IntelliSeek, NoTouch, and IntelliPower technologies.
- Environmentally responsible — 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.
- Cool and quiet — GreenPower technology yields lower operating temperatures for increased reliability and low acoustics for ultra-quiet PCs and external drives.

- IntelliPower — A fine-tuned balance of spin speed, transfer rate, and caching algorithms designed to deliver both significant power savings and solid performance.
- IntelliSeek — Calculates optimum seek speeds to lower power consumption, noise, and vibration.
- NoTouch ramp load technology — The recording head never touches the disk media ensuring better drive protection in transit as well as significantly less wear to the recording head and media.
- StableTrac — The motor shaft is secured at both ends to reduce system-induced vibration and stabilize platters for accurate tracking, during read and write operations. (2 TB models only)
- Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR) — Employs PMR technology to achieve even greater areal density.
- Low power spin-up — WD Caviar Green drives consume less current during startup allowing lower peak loads.
- Advanced power technology — Electronic components deliver best-in-class low power consumption for reduced power requirements and increased reliability.
