Western-Digital 500GB Hard Disk

Western-Digital 500GB Hard Disk Caviar are 3.5″ internal hard disk drives made for desktop computers, NAS, and servers. Western Digital Green hard drives are designed for use in systems that require a cool and quiet operation, as secondary drives in PCs, for external enclosures, and other applications for which low noise and low heat are beneficial. These earth-friendly hard drives are ideal for use whenever energy efficiency is needed.
The Caviar Green is one of the few disks to use Advanced Format technology. … Instead of having a set, uniform spindle speed the Caviar Green disks all have slightly different spindle speeds set somewhere between 5,400rpm and 7,200rpm during the manufacturing process. Caviar SE is Western Digital’s high-performance hard drive series with 7,200 RPM spindle speeds. … Higher data transfer rates are only reached by Western Digital’s Raptor drives and Samsung’s Spin Point T166.
In conclusion, Green and Blue HDDs are suitable for desktop PC, generally, the Blue HDD’s read/write speed is faster than Green HDD, so many users choose the Blue HDDs for their PCs, while Black HDDs are widely used in servers. For basic computer usage, Green SSD is used, while for extensive PC usage, blue SSD is used. Blue SSD is more reliable, i. e. almost 75% more than Green SSD. Blue SSD has a higher performance rate and low failure rating than Green SSD. Western Digital Blue SSD has a capacity of 2TB storage. A WD Green drive makes an excellent secondary storage drive as they are extremely quiet and have decent performance, although like all the consumer drives, they lack any advanced vibration protection so you should avoid having more than one or two installed in your system.
