  • Finally, there is some hard proof that green products really can make a difference without throwing performance overboard. Western Digital’s first-generation environmentally-friendly hard drive, called the Caviar GP, introduced rather small benefits...

  • Its a shame for Western Digital to tell the public this drive isnt a "performance drive." With seek times averaging the same as most 300-500GB drives out there, and an average read speed close to those drives as well, the Caviar Green 1TB drive seem...

  • Adding 333GB platters and another 16MB of cache to the Caviar Green improves the drive on two fronts. As weve seen, the latest Green is generally faster than its 250GB/platter predecessor, no doubt thanks to its higher areal density. This attribute al...

  • Low energy consumption, HUGE 2TB size, Great Price for a drive this size, Low Noise, Best Price per GB ratio we have ever seen in a review unit
  • While not expensive, the biggest drive going always command a price premium, Low noise and power come at the expense of increased latency, Slow compared to 2TB Black, Single processor, Single Actuator design, While WD claims they are set anywhere from 540...
  • The Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB is one of those products that comes along every now and then which we don't have high expectations for but we nonetheless walked away extremely impressed. This drive is certainly not an enthusiast “high perfo...

  • Massive drive packs 2TB of storage
  • Pricey, despite a competitive cost per gigabyte
  • 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...

  • The Western Digital Caviar Green in 2TB form has a lot of strong features and innovative technology to impress us just with its specifications alone. New and innovative usually comes with a drawback and many consumers tend not to take it lightly, co...
