WD Shipping 3 TB SATA Hard Drive; The World's Highest Capacity Yet

WD today announced that the company is shipping the world’s largest capacity SATA hard drive. As the latest addition to its WD Caviar Green family of SATA hard drives, the new hard drives deliver up to a 3 terabytes (TB) of storage capacity on a single drive. The drive utilizes 750 GB-per-platter areal density and Advanced Format (AF) technology.

WD Caviar Green drives are an eco-friendly storage solution with WD GreenPower Technology, which reduces power consumption by enabling lower operating temperatures for increased reliability and decreases acoustical noise for quiet operation. The WD Caviar Green 2.5 TB and 3 TB hard drives are designed for use as secondary external storage and PC storage in 64 bit-based systems. 

Manufacturers’ Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the WD Caviar Green 2.5 TB hard drive is Rs. 9000 and the 3 TB hard drive is Rs. 11,500. WD Caviar Green hard drives are covered by a three-year limited warranty. WD Caviar Green 2.5 TB hard drives (model number WD25EZRSDTL) and 3 TB hard drives (model number WD30EZRSDTL) will be available in India later this year.
