About this product

Product Information

The 2TB Caviar Green internal hard drive from Western Digital provides plenty of free space on your computer to make sure you have room for all your software programs. When your computer's standard HDD starts to fill up, this WD20EADS hard drive gives you enough storage space to keep all your favorite applications. With massive memory capacity, this hard drive keeps you supplied with room for your video, image, and audio files. To put things into perspective, the 2TB drive holds 34,000 hours of music, 2,000 hours of home videos, 620,000 photos, or 1,000 hours of high-quality movies. If you love to enjoy and share media, this HDD device offers everything to need to keep your memories and entertainment in storage.With IntelliPower technology, these green drives operate with minimal power consumption to provide an eco-friendly experience. 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. The SATA interface uses a 32MB cache to open programs in the blink of an eye. It offers a data transfer rate of 3 GB/s. 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 ...

  • 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 ...

  • 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.
