Product Features

The advantage of cool & quiet

Heat has a large impact on the overall reliability of a HDD’s life over time. It can also lead to increased power consumption, the requirement of additional fans and increased fan operation, increased noise levels and the increased chance of failure. WD Green drives come equipped with WD GreenPower Technology™ which allows the drive to operate cooler with increased overall reliability.

Power management with performance

Best-in-class power management, reduced heat output, and nextgeneration technologies such as IntelliSeek™ offer a perfect balance of performance and power, making WD Green a leader in performance when compared to the competition ’s 6 TB HDD.

Reliability with an increased lifespan

Quiet acoustics, reduced vibration and advanced 4K HDD formatting makes WD Green a stronger solution when compared to the competition and perfect for PCs and external drive applications. WD Green also features a Dual Stage Actuator, which delivers higher precision motion for 2X the data performance and increases drive reliability.

Capacity storage

Large capacity offerings of up to 6 TBs help expand customer capabilities and application usage of WD Green including primary installations in desktop PCs, as secondary storage in external cases or as reliable backup storage.

Next-generation technology

Reduced power consumption, improved data tracking, and WD GreenPower Technology all help to improve the overall reliability of WD Green making it an efcient solution that lowers your total cost of ownership. NoTouch™ Ramp Load Technology also protects the drive by ensuring the recording head never touches the disk media, reducing wear and tear to the head and increases drive reliability.

Easy upgrade

Acronis® True Image™, available as a download on the WD Support website, enables you to clone or copy all your data to a new drive so you don’t have to reinstall your operating system and applications to get all the benets of a new drive.

Applications

WD Green hard drives are tested and recommended for primary use in desktop and All-in-One PCs, as secondary storage for archiving, in external cases or as reliable backup storage. Desktop drives are not recommended for use in RAID environments. Please use WD Red™ storage for NAS or RAID applications.*

* WD hard drives are designed and tested for use in specic applications and environments. This ensures that your hard drive is compatible with and functions properly in your application.

Our hard drives are warranted against defects in materials and workmanship in the system for which they were designed. Use in systems other than for what the hard drive was designed could result in compatibility problems that affect proper function, unrelated to material and/or workmanship defects. For best results, be sure to select the appropriate product for your application by consulting our product spec sheets on our website at www.wd.com or by calling our customer support line where we would be happy to help you through the selection process.

As used for storage capacity, one megabyte (MB) = one million bytes, one gigabyte (GB) = one billion bytes, and one terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending on operating environment. As used for buffer or cache, one megabyte (MB) = 1,048,576 bytes. As used for transfer

rate or interface, megabyte per second (MB/s) = one million bytes per second, and gigabit per second (Gb/s) = one billion bits per second. Effective maximum SATA 3 Gb/s transfer rate calculated according to the Serial ATA specication published by the SATA-IO organization as of the date of this specication sheet.
