Product Description

WD Green Capacity Storage Mobile Hard Drive

Cool, quiet operation with massive capacity.

The advantage of cool & quiet
Heat has a large impact on the overall reliability of a HDD's life over time. It can also lead to increased power consumption, the requirement of additional fans and increased fan operation, increased noise levels and the increased chance of failure. WD Green drives come equipped with WD GreenPower Technology which allows the drive to operate cooler with increased overall reliability.

Power management with performance
Best-in-class power management, reduced heat output, and next-generation technologies such as IntelliSeek offer a perfect balance of performance and power, making WD Green a leader in performance when compared to the competition.

Reliability with an increased lifespan
Quiet acoustics, reduced vibration and advanced 4K HDD formatting makes WD Green a stronger solution when compared to the competition and perfect for PCs and external drive applications.

Product Features

Capacity storage
Large capacity offerings of up to 2 TBs help expand customer capabilities and application usage of WD Green including primary installations in desktop PCs, as secondary storage in external cases or as reliable backup storage.

Next-generation technology
Reduced power consumption, improved data tracking, and WD GreenPower Technology all help to improve the overall reliability of WD Green making it an efficient solution that lowers your total cost of ownership. NoTouch Ramp Load Technology also protects the drive by ensuring the recording head never touches the disk media, reducing wear and tear to the head and increases drive reliability.

Upgrading your drive is easy
WD Acronis TrueImage, available as a free download on the WD Support site, enables you to copy all your data to a new drive so you don't have to reinstall your operating system to get all the benefits of a new drive.

Recommended use
WD Green hard drives are tested and recommended for use in custom-built enclosures and other applications that require cool and quiet operation.*

*Cannot be used in laptop or notebook computers. Designed for PCs and custom external enclosures. Consult system specifications for maximum allowable drive height before attempting to install.

OK, It doesn't fit...but it does!

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2014

Capacity: 2 TBVerified Purchase

I took a chance that I could make this fit in my netbook. And it doesn't. But I made it fit. OK, here's what I did. I have a ACER One 722 netbook. Came with a stock 250 GB hard drive, which I immediately took out and replaced with a Samsung 1 TB Spinpoint bought on Amazon, with a fresh clean Windows 7 install about 2 years ago. That filled up quickly with my DJ tunes and tons of movies. When I saw this 2 TB WD hardrive for only $105 I wanted to try to see if I could make it fit. After reading all the complaints in the reviews I figured I could and if not I got a 2TB external HD. First off, the contacts fit perfectly, because the computer is a ribbon strip and can accommodate some latitude of a mm or two higher. Now if you are familiar with your netbook, you probably know the whole plastic bottom is attached with only one screw, to expose all the inner-eds. Just mount the 15mm 2 TB hard-drive as you would normally. Now try to reattach the bottom with the one screw...It will fit, trust me on this, but with a bit of a bulge on the bottom. And the wonderful thing about it, nobody but you know the bulge is even there.

Now for me anyways, cloning was bit of challenge since the netbook has no optical drive to use Clonzilla as a boot disk to start the cloning process. And I didn't have enough USB inputs for the external optical burner (2) and the external case to put the 2 TB HD in for cloning, also (2). So I took a chance and tried a freeware cloning program from Freeware Files called AOMEI Backupper Standard Edition 2.0 which does not have to have a boot start with a CD. Took about 14 hrs to clone my 1 full TB to the new 2 TB drive. Now here is where I had to jump thru hoops to get it recognized by the computer. When I powered up the netbook, C drive only showed 1 TB, not the 2 TB. So I used the default Windows My Computer, Disk Management to set the unallocated 1 TB part to at least now show in My Computer as an additional 1TB drive "D". Next I used EASEUS Partition Master 9.1.0 Home Edition to merge the partitions into one 2 TB, and viola! Done!

One other note I would like to make. I also have a 17' Toshiba Satellite L775D-S7340 quad core. So I checked to see if it would fit. Well guess what? It doesn't fit...But it does!!! I took out the 1 TB Samsung Spinpoint also bought at Amazon, it also with a fresh Windows 7 install. I tried to make it fit and as with my Acer Netbook, it slid right in too. I then screwed the one screw back in place, and low and behold it too will have a 2 TB 15mm HD...of course with a manageable slight buldge on the bottom that no one will see anyway. So my advice...try it! I doesn't fit...but it does!

Big, Heavy, Fast

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2014

Capacity: 2 TBVerified Purchase

I needed two 2.5" drives for a RAID1 array, and the bigger the better. These worked perfectly for my purposes. Yes, they're big (these were my first 15mm 2.5" drives, it's actually kind of crazy how big they are), and they're heavy as hell, but the speeds they get are fast and they stay pretty cool while delivering those speeds. I've had the RAID1 running for a few months now, and I haven't had a single problem. Now if only they could fit 4TB worth of platters into one of these things...

My only issue with this is that it won't fit in a laptop. There was plenty of warning though, so it's my fault for not reading closely enough. I gave it a four star instead of a five because it performs well as advertised and is reasonable for the price, but leaves something for improvement in the bulk department.

my go-to storage drive

Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2015

Capacity: 2 TBVerified Purchase

I have two of these running in a freenas build. One is a couple of years old and the other about a year. They spin 24x7. It's a home network but the Mac and pic clients back up to it regularly, perform full virus scans and periodic zfs scrubs. The system does not sleep the drives.

They do not seem nearly as slow as other 5400rpm drives. They are quiet, run cool, and sip power. I've owned 4 of the green series drives and think they are a great value for cost, size, and reliability

Sacrifices performance to run cooler and quieter...

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2015

Capacity: 2 TBVerified Purchase

I had a 1tb 7200 drive that performed very well. I needed more space so replaced it with this drive. Everything worked, bootup seemed to take longer but I thought it was just me. It isn't. This drive is advertised as a "WD Green is simple high capacity storage that runs cooler and quieter than traditional 7200 RPM drives". Probably true. Unfortunately, PERFORMANCE is sacrificed. Windows shows 100% disk usage for at least the first 15 minutes! The clue is the "green" in the title. They must have slowed it down, turned it off, and slowed down access speed. I'd bet that it doesn't run at full speed all he time either. I paid a 30% premium over a less expensive drive. I would have been far better off skipping this drive entirely. If you need the space, but not performance. Go with a cheaper drive. If you need performance, look elsewhere...

Be warned of thickness this is 15mm; not your normal laptop, ps4, ps3, etc.. thickness of 9mm or less

Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2015

Capacity: 2 TBVerified Purchase

Be warned this does not fit in laptop (9mm) or laptop like drives, such as 2.5 normal enclosures, ps3, ps4, etc.. even tho it shows up under searches of 2.5, laptop, 7200rpm etc.. you need a 9mm or slimmer for laptop sizes, this is a 15mm you have to have a special enclose that is for 15mm thickness about 25$ in cost nearly three times most normal 2.5 enclosures or put it in a desktop. I give it three stars because it does work, quite, and I believe reliable. But item was catorgerized under 2.5 size and laptop/desktop it was purchased to go into a PS4 that requires a laptop sized thickness drive 9mm or less and now I have to turn it into an external drive or return.

Excellent Drive for Massive Portable Storage

Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2013

Capacity: 2 TBVerified Purchase

The drive itself is heavy due to the amount of platters in the drive. It is excellent if you want a small drive with big storage. You need to make sure you use an enclosure that is capable of 15 mm drives. I used an Oyen MiniPro enclosure with SS3.0/ESATA. It's performance is around 107 mb/s write and 105 mb/s read with either eSATA 6 and SS 3.0 using Crystal DiskMark and file transfer observations. Which is about average for a small drive. In comparison to the WD Black 750 gb for example, I can usually get 126 mb/s write and 122 mb/s read. Not much slower. The drive spins at 5200 rpm according to Crystal DiskInfo. I wish it had read and write statistics like most newer drives do, such as the amount written and read like the WD Black 750 gb and WD Black 500 gb drives do. The amount of heat it produces is the same as the WD Black. So far I've filled it up about 3/4 of the way and no bad sectors or issues with it yet.

Buen producto y mucha capacidad

Reviewed in Spain on March 31, 2016

Capacity: 2 TBVerified Purchase

Lo quería para un receptor/grabador TDT/SAT y está cumpliendo perfectamente, bajo cunsumo y sin ruidos cuando enciendo el equipo o lo saco de la suspensión. Sin despeinarse me puede grabar simultáneamente 3 programas de TV de otros tantos canales (en HD, es decir, a 1080i) y a la vez puedo estar reproduciendo algún programa previamente grabado, es decir, 4 flujos de datos simultáneos.

Me decanté por este modelo de WD, a pesar de ser más caro que otros modelos que vi, por el bajo consumo que tiene, tanto cuando está funcionando como cuando está en standbye. Hice comparativas con otros discos y merece la pena el coste extra.

Lo recomiendo para uitlizarlo en tareas similares a la mía o para disco externo, pero obviamente no para instalar un Sistema Operativo en un portatil/sobremesa, porque el disco es de 5200/5400 rpm y no es apropiado para ese cometido.

Un saludo.

Ho acquistato questo disco per metterlo nel mio "POPCORN" (disco multimediale) in sostituzione di un disco da 1 TB da 3,5 pollici.
I motivi erano vari: ampliamento dello storage, maggiore silenziosità, minore calore prodotto. I tre obiettivi sono stati raggiunti. Unico dubbio era la resistenza all'uso. Devo dire che ormai sono passati più di 4 mesi con un uso quasi H24 e finora il disco non ha fatto una "piega". Ormai io acquisto solo dischi WD.

Large capacity and small form factor

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 8, 2014

Capacity: 2 TBVerified Purchase

A 2TB drive in a 2.5 inch chassis. No the speediest of drive but it does the job just fine. Wanted a large capacity drive but have been moving to small drives in my PC as they tend to use less power and generate less heat. So far device has been fine.

If you are buying this for a laptop be aware that this may not fit as it is a lot taller than "standard" drives. The same applies for external drive cases too.

Sehr gutes Größen/Preis/Leistungsverhältniss

Reviewed in Germany on March 25, 2014

Capacity: 2 TBVerified Purchase

Habe mir diese Platte in 2,5 Zoll bestellt weil ich eine mobile Lösung für meine Fotos brauchte. Zu Hause hatte ich eine 3TByte 3,5 Zoll Festplatte, aber sie ist einfach zu groß und zu schwer um sie mobil mitzunehmen. 2 Terra bei 2,5 Zoll ergibt schon eine ordentliche Speicherdichte und 5200 UMin ist zwar nicht allzu schnell, aber ich denke, völlig ausreichend und, so habe ich es mit vorgestellt und so ist es auch, diese Platte ist für mich kaum hörbar.

Ich betreibe sie an einem MacBookAir und habe zur Zeit leider noch USB 2.0, aber das ist, für Fototransfers immer noch ausreichend, zur Geschwindigkeit möchte ich folgendes sagen: ich habe diese Platte auf Linux einem Geschwindigkeitstest mit "hdparm" unterzogen und muss sagen, dass sie bei USB 2.0 einer SSD, die ich als Vergleichskriterium herangezogen habe, in nichts nachsteht:

hdparm -tT /dev/sdc:

Western Digital WD20NPVX 2TB:
Timing cached reads 20834 MB in 2.00 Sekunden= 10426.98 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 108 MB in 3.01 Sekunden= 35.86 MB/sec

Samsung MZ-7TE120BW Serie 840 (120GB) über ICY Box :
Timing cached reads: 21958 MB in 2.00 Sekunden= 10989.87 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 110 MB in 3.04 Sekunden= 36.24 MB/sec

Am obigen Vergleich sieht man, dass sich diese Platte an USB 2.0 ungefähr gleich einer SSD verhält. Das ist zwar noch nicht so aussagekräftig, weil wir sie ja an USB 3.0 betreiben wollen, aber sie steht, im Vergleich, einer SSD an USB2.0 in nichts nach.
OK, machen wir mal den Vergleich an USB3.0:

Western Digital WD20NPVX 2TB:
Timing cached reads: 28338 MB in 2.00 seconds = 14183.49 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 260 MB in 3.01 seconds = 86.40 MB/sec

Samsung MZ-7TE120BW Serie 840 (120GB) über ICY Box :
Timing cached reads: 29144 MB in 2.00 seconds = 14587.09 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 776 MB in 3.00 seconds = 258.27 MB/sec

Obige Beispiele zeigen, dass sich die Western Digital auf USB 2.0 ungefähr genauso schnell wie eine SSD verhält. Ich erkläre es so, dass die Platten (und SSD) so schnell sind, dass hier der Faktor von USB2.0 die Geschwindigkeit begrenzt. Während die "cached reads" (die, die über das Betriebssystem gepuffert werden) gleich sind, sind die "disk reads" (die, die über den Controller direkt auf oder an der Platte gepuffert werden), bei der SSD bei USB 3.0 höher. Sie erscheint dann auch in diesem Bereich schneller als die Harddisk, was ja aber auch anders nicht zu erwarten war.

Wie hier ein User schon angesprochen hat (und einige andere mit ihrer Playstation 4 erfahren haben), man sollte unebdingt darauf achten, dass man auch ein Gehäuse für diese Platte hat, da sie, naturgemäß, aufgrund ihrer Bauweise, nicht die "üblichen" Höhen hat, sondern eine Höhe von 1,5cm! Ich habe mehrere Gehäuse, auch dicke, bestellt, aber sie alle passten nicht. Da ich kein geeignetes Gehäuse gefunden habe weil es für die Hersteller anscheinend manchmal schwierig ist, die reale Hähe, die ihre Gehäuse aufnehmen können, anzugeben, habe ich mir ein eigenes Gehäuse gebastelt. Ich hatte noch ein kleine Profilgehäuse, welches ich innen aufgeflext und gefeilt habe, in die ich dann diese Platte stecken konnte, mitsamt einem USB3.0 Controller, den ich einem der Gehäuse entnommen habe, die ich zuviel bestellt hatte. So funktionier sie wunderbar, bei Gelegenheit werde ich mal ein Foto von meiner Konstruktion hier einstellen.

Fazit:

Diese Platte hat zur Zeit (muss man ja immer sagen weil sich die Technik langsam weiterentwickelt) ein super Größen/Preis/Leistungsverhältnis. 2 TerraByte bei der Größe habe ich bei diesem Preis nicht gefunden. Natürlich gibt es auch SSDs mit großer Kapazität, aber bei Fotos kann man eigentlich nie zuviel Speicherplatz haben und die 2 Terrabyte reichen für meine Zwecke erst einmal vollkommen aus. Zudem sind SSDs bei großem Speichervolumen noch exorbitant teuer, so dass diese Platte für mich die ideale Lösung bei kleinstem Raum darstellt. Deswegen: 5 Sterne
