So storage is your no. 1 priority in building your own rig, so we appreciate that you have an interest of whatever you save in a large terabyte of space, but for most users it is the storage of anything that comes in and out of the computer and also hold most of the vital stuff when it goes on start up and also saves games; so western digital made a new type of HDD that is still having more than a terabyte of storage or even another terabyte, so the Green series from Western Digital is still a good choice for a power saving alternative to hard data storage.
We have seen the 20EADs from western digital; it was spectacular to have a HDD that draws little power in load and idle modes and also provide enough storage to have tons of movies (not pirated). So why we go back to the 20EADS, first of all the green caviar series from Western Digital has released a two terabyte version the green HDD. But most of the features in the 20EADS are all the same, the buffer size are the same and the platters used all three and denser than ever. As I said earlier the less moving mechanism parts in the hard-drive the less power it draws in moving the parts, as the example with the 20EADS it has only three total silicone platters and far less heads for it to move about, equals the less amount of power used and also it still kept the speed up to much the same as the normal power drawing HDD like a 1.5TB Seagate 7200.11. going to much as the burst speed of 115.MB/s and also normal read and write speeds are all in the all highs for a power saving HDD easily beating the 5400rpm green variants and also some 7200rpm HDD, with the help of the SATA3.0GB/s interface and standard 7200rpm disc speed really made some pace with some HDD from Seagate or any other makers.
But some of the flaws in the HDD are the occasional heat and noise problems but most of them are pretty minor for some users, and also the new wave of SDD drives are becoming more of a hit in the market for high speed storage and power usage, but with the HDD’s wins they still have the much needed space for all of those OS apps and other software saved in. Yes, the SDD are the wave of the future, high read and write speeds no more mechanical devices all solid state, but one thing they really miss is the large amounts of storage and power saving is a thing for you the 20EADS is the one.
