What Green Power Technology can a hard drive deliver?

We all live in a digital age, so its good to know that we can make environmentally responsible decision over the type of hardware we choose.

Well it seems that Western Digital has embraced environmental sustainability and have developed hard drives that deliver an average power saving of 4 – 5 watts over standard desktop drives while maintaining solid performance.

That’s a CO2 reducing in about 60 kg per drive per year! -which is the equilavant of taking your car off the road for 14 days each day. Not only does it help the environment, but such reduced energy usage also lowers your electricity bill!

It’s a win-win situation for both the environment and your pocket!
