  • Abstract:  The 2 TB Western Digital Caviar Green is yet another milestone in the unrelenting quest for greater storage capacity. There was once a 40 MB hard disk drive was considered state-of-the-art. Now, Western Digital gives us a hard disk drive of the same p....

  • Newegg.com is presently out of stock on the Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB hard drive, but the price is listed as $299.99. While you might expect to pay a premium because it is a new product and presently the only 2TB drive available, the price does...

  • The Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB (WD20EADS) SATA hard drive clearly stands alone as one of the largest hard drives to hit the market yet. With four platters of 500GB goodness spinning at a measly 5400RPM, you would think that it wouldn’t be able ...

  • We will do some summarizing now. First of all, we can name the fastest 1-terabyte drive in all our tests. It is the WD RE3 (WD1002FBYS). This is the best buy if you prefer maximum performance. But if you don’t like its high price, you can take the W...

  • Well, its a pretty disappointing picture as far as performance goes for the Western Digital 2TB Caviar Green. Theoretical performance as measured by HD-Tach is uniformly poor and while performance in our write and copy tests for both MP3 and ISO file ...

  • For those who need as much as can possibly be crammed into a 3.5" form factor, the Western Digital WD20EADS Caviar Green is sure to please. While the performance is nowhere near Raptor territory, the sequential transfer rates are admirable given the ...

  • Abstract:  New capacity record With the 2 Terabyte hard drive Western Digital set a new capacity record - PC Games Hardware made a brief test of the HDD. Hitachi was the first company to reach the Terabyte; last year Seagate exceeded the former limit with an 1.5 ...

  • Western Digital has captured the capacity crown by a comfortable margin with the Caviar Green 2TB, and itll likely hold onto the title for a while. Thats probably why the drives suggested retail price is a lofty $299—theres a premium to be paid for...

  • The slight lag in performance shouldn't be enough to deter people who have large data libraries from getting the WD Caviar Green 2TB WD20EADS. Nor should it put off casual and professional digital media enthusiasts, who will rightly crave this drive. ...
