WD Green storage is designed specifically with reliability in mind for an increased drive lifespan‎.‎ The advantage of being cool and quiet impacts overall reliability while reduced heat output‎,‎ decreased power consumption‎,‎ quiet acoustics‎,‎ and best‎-in‎-class power management make WD Green a leader when compared to the competition‎.‎

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 4 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.‎

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 efficient 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.‎
