Energy-conserving general trend of events of compliance Count and announce the serial hard disks of environmental protection in the west

This Monday, the west counts the company and introduces the hard disk series of the environment protection type, and expect these hard disks can get application in tabletop, enterprise and comsumption-based electronic product of the company.

Count respect claim namely the intersection of GreenPower and (energy-conservation of green) of outloading these according to the west Serial hard disks, the capacity, between 1 TB, and used energy will be 40% more than the similar products. First style GreenPower hard disk that will be supplied this month – -WD Caviar GP is a externally positioned hard disk.

Tabletop type 3.5 inches of Caviar hard disks are planned in August outloading. Count SATA hard disk in the west of GreenPower edition that suitable enterprises employ, and the hard disk suitable for other comsumption-based electronic products such as digital camera, roof box and use has already confirmed that go on the market this quarter.

Count the company according to the west to estimate, by the look of cost of electricity consumption, each hard disk can save 10 dollars new green hard disk every year. For example, GreenPower hard disk of 1 TB, there is fewer and about 5 watts its power consumption than other hard disks of the same size, the energy consumption of the latter is usually 13.5 watts.

Further calculate again, a data centre with 10,000 hard disks can save 100,000 dollars every year in energy consumption, the discharge amount of the carbon dioxide can be reduced by 600 tons too, this is analogous to in 400 vehicles of discharge amount in one year of car of going on the road.

GreenPower series the intersection of hard disk and used energy-conserving new technology one of magnetic head produce year while being automatic when being idle, thus reduce the aerodynamic drag. In addition, these hard disks still can calculate the best seek speed, thus realize strict on-demand uses energy. The equilibrium among performance indexes such as rotational speed, speed and transmission speed of cache of the new hard disk,etc. is better.

Now, because the customer puts forward the control request to the energy consumption increasing constantly, each part of the whole hardware industry will launch the green environmental plan. Take hard disk trade as an exmple, in the market very fierce in competition, the lower products of running cost can bring better sales volume.

The west count company announce, plan, purchase with dollar of cashes in U.S.A. to compete Company, Komag of rival, for a long time on June. This purchase suggests reflecting in the highly commercialized market, the competition is fierce day by day.
