WD's Monster 2TB Caviar Green Drive, Preview Test

Posted by timothy on from the what-would-this've-cost-in-1999? dept.

MojoKid writes "Today Western Digital is announcing their WD20WEADS drive, otherwise known as the WD Caviar Green 2.0TB. With 32MB of onboard cache and special power management algorithms that balance spindle speed and transfer rates, the WD Caviar Green 2TB not only breaks the 2 terabyte barrier but also offers an extremely low-power profile in its standard 3.5" SATA footprint. Early testing shows it keeps pace with similar capacity drives from Seagate and Samsung."

    You want to use our computers? Then adapt.

    You know nothing about computers if you can't understand why they operate on a binary scale, and why it is correct to refer to things as such, and downright retarded to use something that is of a different base.

    Lots of fields have things that mean different things.
