WD begins the distribution of SATA discs up to 3 TB

WD Caviar Green hard drives allow to store up to 3 TB in a single disc responding to the continued demand for an increase in external storage capacity. These new SATA hard drives use an area density of 750 GB by dish and technology Advanced Format (AF).

WD has begun to distribute hard drives Sata Caviar Green that offer an enormous storage capacity of up to 3 terabytes (TB) in a single disc. These discs use a 750 GB area density by dish and Advanced Format (AF) technology.

WD Caviar Green discs are an ecological storage solution thanks to the WD Greenpower Technology, which reduces energy consumption by allowing lower operational temperatures to increase reliability and reduce acoustic noise in order to achieve silent functioning. WD Caviar Green hard discs of 2.5 TB and 3 TB are designed to use as secondary external storage and as storage on new generation PCs with 64 -bit systems.

Discs with capabilities exceeding 2.19 TB currently have barriers for hardware, firmware and software of the PC. To satisfy the new set of requirements that users must know in order to successfully integrate greater capacity discs, WD is marketing its hard drives Green of 2.5 TB and 3 TB next to a host bus adapter (HBA) in accordance with the advanced host controller interface (AHCI), which will allow the operating system to use a controller known to the correct compatibility for the correct compatibility for large capacity.

Jim Morris, Executive Vice President and General Director of the WD Client Systems Storage Group has commented that “with our WD Caviar Green discs, we allow customers concerned with energy consumption to build systems with the greatest capacities that provide an optimal balance between system performance, guaranteed reliability and energy conservation. Now customers can take advantage of this revolutionary capacity level for the secondary external storage for secondary external storage bits that run the Microsoft Vista or Windows 7 ″ platforms.
