IntelliPower adjusts the unit's spin speed, caching algorithms, and transfer rate for high performance and low energy use. It also uses IntelliSeek to quickly access files while keeping noise, vibration, and energy use at a minimum. These Western Digital 2TB green drives use very little power. These features allow you to build a reliable, high-performance system while still conserving energy.At 5,400 RPM, this Western Digital 2TB drive offers speedy file backup with reduced temperature and noise.

Use it to quickly store and access huge amounts of data, including large video and audio files. Whether you take hundreds of photos on your smartphone or you need to store backup files at the office, this device helps you manage those digital files without lengthy upload and download times.A sleek form factor keeps this Caviar Green model cool and quiet while in use. StableTrac functionality secures the motor shaft at both ends, reducing the amount of vibration during read-and-write operations. Access your data without excessive noise or the need for a loud fan. Even under a heavy transfer load during consistent use, sound from the device is minimal. It has an operating temperature range of between zero degrees and 60 degrees Celsius. A high-temperature resistance protects the parts from heat damage to provide a SATA drive you can rely on.This 2TB OEM hard disk drive is compatible with Windows PCs and Mac OS X. Once it is mounted in your computer, use a SATA cable to connect it to the motherboard. Alternatively, install it by placing it in a separate enclosure for USB connections. Four platters of 500 GB each make up the hardware; it has an areal density of 400 GB per square inch. The NoTouch ramp load design means the recording head never touches the disk. This gives the recording head a longer life and makes it safer when carrying the drive to protect your hardware and your data. The durable construction protects it from wear during high-intensity usage times while writing data.

Low cost mass storage
The Western Digital WD20EADS 2TB SATA hard drives are a cost effective way to add a massive amount of storage. Their performance is good although there are faster drives on the market. They're designed to be energy efficient and seems to have a good balance between its efficiency and performance. I highly recommend downloading the free diagnostic software "Data Lifeguard Diagnostic for Windows" from the Western Digital website and running diagnostics (extended test) for each new WD drive BEFORE use. The tool provides the ability to run several different tests including a quick test, extended test (test of each disk sector for bad sectors which takes about 5 hours with the 2TB drive), and write test (destructive write of 0's to each sector). This can take a lot of time to verify the disk is stable and error free but definitely well worth the extra time and peace of mind if you're planning to store valuable information and don't plan to have a replica or copy of your data elsewhere. Formatting one of these drives will also take several hours for a full format; take the time to perform the full format. I originally installed two of these drives internally in a system running Windows Vista Ultimate x64 as extra storage and configured them as dynamic disks which provided a spanned capacity of 3.32TB. One of the two disks started having errors and every time the system was rebooted Windows would auto run chkdisk and delete files for what it thought (incorrectly) was free space resulting in having to restore data. I would not recommend this configuration - you would be better off configuring these disks as basic disks and using them as individual drives as they seem to be more stable configured as basic disks. The formatted capacity with Windows comes out to be 1862.89GB (1.86TB) per drive. These are not the best solution for operating system (C:) drives. It's better to have a smaller drive that has a faster access for your operating system and use these for mass storage of large files (such as multimedia files) which is what I was looking for. Primarily I use these to store virtual machines and have had very good performance with them. Western Digital has a very good limited warranty service, and for this "green" model is 3 years from date of manufacture (not the date of purchase as with most drive manufacturers) and they track them through their Warranty Status Check service. The value of this alone makes purchasing one of these drives worth while which was a major factor in my decision to purchase them.Read full review

Best drive I ever bought.
These HDDs are absolutely fabulous for media storage. They are a little slow due to their 5400rpm spindle speed. However, their 32mb buffer makes up for it quite nicely, but not really for the latest OS/booting installations. I don't know who wants to boot from a 2TB HDD anyway. At least not until Microsoft comes up with an OS that will take up even more space. Anyway, where these drives really shine (and I mean shine!) is in media storage. I have two in a 4TB NAS server. They hold my my entire movie collection including DVDs and bluerays wit plenty of room to spare (for now). Ive been watching movies from them for months now without any glitches. I did have one problem that was based with the NAS software. I had to troubleshoot it myself because WD's customer support was useless. Their support software, which is free to download, is excellent though. All in all I am very happy with my drives.Read full review

I would buy again.
I have installed the hard drive in a spare DELL computer that had a DVI card built-in. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate and made a multimedia computer out of it. I copied all my movies to it. I bought a DVI to HDMI adapter and have it connected to my network and my 1080 flat screen TV. I bought a wireless keyboard and mouse. This was a really nice buy and made a big difference in my TV and internet experience.

Number One for Repository and Archive Use
Having experience directly with virtually every drive ever made I find Western Digital (WD) products to be 1st class. The 2TB WD20EADS is great for low to medium traffic as network storage or online non OS resident use. They are reliable, quiet, low power consumption, and inexpensive. For high traffic, desktop or server primary drive (C:) use or for high activity and access to databases other faster WD models are more suitable.
