WD Caviar GP: The “Green” 1 TB Drive
Western Digital Caviar GT
The Western Digital Caviar GT is available in three capacity points: 1000 GB, 750 GB and 500 GB: the model numbers are WD10EACS, WD7500AACS, WD5000AACS respectively. The top model uses up to four platters at 250 GB per platter to reach its maximum capacity; the 500 GB model hence is based on only two platters, which should make it the most energy-efficient drive. However, since the important fact is power per gigabyte, the possible power savings by using the 500 GB model instead of the higher capacity drives with the higher platter count are only interesting for very specific applications.
