In the Information Technology business of today “Fast is always best”, fast internet connection, fast data retrieval, fast application processing, but at what cost? Inefficient throttling due to overtly high speed of read/write accessing of data not only speeds up wear and tear on your hard disk but increases the need for inefficient use of electricity.
This is why Western Digital(WD) has innovated to pursue better and more efficient hard disks by continuing to push for a green evolution in hard disk use.
In a recent show of proof of concept WD explained and showed attendees of the recently held WD Gamers Cup, that fast is not always efficient. On the other hand user’s are always trying to find ways to improve swift Operating System(OS) loading and processing to make computer experience better than the usual. So how do we combine speed with efficiency? Best practice would be by splitting your hard disk hardware. For unequaled processing speed you use Solid State Drives(SSD) and for your unending space requirement use WD Green hard drives.
The Many Wonders of WD Green Drive
From WD’s Power of Choice line, WD Green hard drive takes pride in its eco-friendly and power-saving attributes. Increased power consumption is being prevented with its GreenPower Technology, as it manages heat which allows the hard drive to operate cooler with increased overall reliability. This unique technology of WD Green also decreases noise and vibration levels as well as hard drive failure, allowing you to work with your computer in a more hassle-free manner. Also, its advanced 4K HDD formatting makes WD Green a stronger solution compared to its rivals in the market.
Although famous for its power-saving and eco-friendly features, WD Green also works best as a complementary drive to solid state drives (SSDs) as it solves storage limitations through the Smart Repsonse Technology. It also delivers the ultimate experience for gamers who want a steady balance of capacity and speed.
“WD Green once combined with SSD though the Intel rapid storage technology, can achieve the speed of SSD then take advantage of the additional capacity from HDD. It’s like Hybrid Drives,” explained by Albert Chung, Senior Product Marketing Manager for WD APAC. “WD Green as a second drive can be alternative for the WD Black- which is popular for its system performance. SSD can provide the needed speed of the gamers, yet with WD Green Drive, the capacity of the desktop storage could increase.”
WD Green- an eco-friendly, high performance storage device that is highly recommended for primary use in Desktop and All-in-One PCs, could also be a supplementary storage for backing up files and archiving.
Best-in-class power management, reduced heat output, and next-generation technologies such as IntelliSeek, WD Green offers a perfect balance of performance and power.
