Western Digital Caviar Green 500GB SATA Internal Desktop Hard Drive (WD5000AZRX)

Western Digital Caviar Green 500GB SATA Internal Desktop Hard Drive (WD5000AZRX) As hard drive capacities increase, the power required to run those drives increases as well. WD Caviar Green drives make it possible for energy-conscious customers to build systems with higher capacities and the right balance of system performance, ensured reliability, and energy
conservation.

Massive capacity
WD Caviar Green SATA drives now deliver up to 3 TB of storage on a single drive.

Reduced power consumption
WD has reduced power consumption making it possible for our energyconscious customers to build systems with higher capacities and the right balance of system performance, ensured reliability, and energy conservation.

Cool and quiet
Drives with WD GreenPower Technology™ yield lower operating temperatures for increased reliability and low acoustics for ultra-quiet PCs and external drives.

Perfect for external drives
External drive manufacturers can eliminate the need for a fan in a high-capacity product with a WD Caviar Green drive, the coolest and quietest in its class

IntelliPower
A fine-tuned balance of spin speed, transfer rate, and caching algorithms designed to deliver both significant power savings and solid performance. Additionally, WD Caviar Green drives consume less current during startup allowing lower peak

IntelliSeek™
Calculates optimum seek speeds to lower power consumption, noise, and vibration.

NoTouch™ ramp load technology
The recording head never touches the disk media ensuring significantly less wear to the recording head and media
as well as better drive protection in transit.

Advanced Format (AF)
Technology being adopted by WD and other drive manufacturers as one of multiple ways to continue growing hard drive capacities. AF is a more efficient media format that enables increased areal densities. (RX, DX, and RS models only)
