A few weeks ago, we covered Western Digital’s forthcoming release of new energy-efficient hard drives, launched under the GreenPower brand.
Today, Tranquil PC have announced that their top-spec T7-HSA Harmony Home Server will be shipping with the 1Tb Green Power drive. The 500Gb system will ship with WD’s AV hard drive.
David at Tranquil writes in his blog:
The GP drives are really something else – lower power consumption 7W > 4W in idle, or 13.6W > 7.5W in Read/write mode when compared to regular desk top drives. This means that they will not only be ‘cooler’ in operation, but will save approx £7.00 / drive / year (or 84Kgs of CO2). Adding this to the already low power of the T7-HSA, we can all expect substantial power cost savings.
