Western Digital 2TB Caviar Green Review: Bigger and Quieter!

[news 28]

This week we take a break from the nosebleed speeds of Solid State and check

out what spinning disk tech has to offer. We found there is still much life

left in these beasts. If you are in the market for an insane amount of

near-silent storage, this article is for you.

Quote: "So long as you can get accustomed to having your large, stagnant

data a seperate 'mass storage' drive, the slower access times and rotational

speeds will have little effect on your daily use. The Caviar Green series

starts to make sense when you realize your bulk data does not necessarily

need to be spinning at 10,000 RPM, and the lower heat output will likely

result in greater longevity of your storage medium. This is especially true

if you don't have the greatest ventilation in your particular application

(i.e. DVR's)."

 

Thanks for a post!!
