Western Digital 10EACS 1TB Hard Disk

Western Digital 10EACS 1TB Hard Disk

Sudeep Naik, Dec 20, 2007 1746 hrs IST

The last 1TB hard drive we had in our Labs turned out to be one of the fastest we've ever tested, is this one out-perform it?

Good performance, Silent operation, No Heat-related issues.

Small buffer for a 1 TB drive, Expensive.

This new technology is used in conjunction with IntelliPower, IntelliSeek, and IntelliPark.

IntelliPower is a fine-tuned balance of spin speed, transfer rate, and caching algorithms designed to deliver both significant power savings and solid performance. Additionally, GreenPower drives consume less current during startup allowing lower peak loads on systems as they're booted.

IntelliSeek calculates optimum seek speeds to lower power consumption, noise, and vibration.

IntelliPark delivers lower power consumption by automatically unloading the heads during idle time to reduce aerodynamic drag.

It also uses StableTrac technology which involves securing the motor at both ends to reduce system-induced vibration and stabilize platters for accurate tracking during read and write operations. It's available only in 750GB and 1TB drives from WD.

Why don't they make it 7.2K rpm? It would then be a great performer. I'm unable to understand how they're able to get that kind of performance with 5400 rpm.

Under page 4 (specifications), the second level heading under electrical specs should be "Power Requirements", NOT "Current Requirements" :-)

LOL! Yeah. I thought it was current power requirements! :P Anyways, the correction as suggested will be appreciated.

WD10EACS 1 TB hard drive is available for $ 260 in USA- equivalent of Rs. 10000. Indian pricing of this product is ridiculous. and only fools can purchase this in India, i certainly would not do so, unless the price comes down to atleast 7-8k.

I totally agree- especially when the electrical supply distribution in India is rather a major cotributor for HDD failures and as such venturing for SUCH high capacity drives might lead to repenting when it fails
