green power

I thought that power was red... At least that's what all the evil people have told me. Damn you Darth Vadar, you and your lies!
 
^^ I've seen it, it's pretty funny.

Perhaps this! You know, Power Rangers, Gawd!

Ok I actually tried to make sense of this. This is in the Hard Drive category so here goes....

Western Digital GreenPower
http://www.wdc.com/en/products/GreenPower/index.asp

quote from page:
"Green drives from WD yield average drive power savings of 4-5 watts over competitors' drives while maintaining solid performance.

That power savings equates to reducing CO2 emission by up to 60 kilograms per drive per year - the equivalent of taking your car off the road for 14 days each year. This new platform makes it possible for our energy-conscious customers to build systems with higher capacities and the right balance of system performance, ensured reliability and energy conservation. "

So this is not madness.........this.....is....GREENPOWER!!!!!

omfg that was lame....
 
This 'green' shit is a joke. It's just a ploy to sell more 'green' shit. I will sit here with my 700watt power guzzling PC and enjoy it damnit! LOL

What, more specifically, do you want to know about green power? If it's just general info you're after, google/wikipedia is your friend. If you have more specific questions in mind, we'll be more than happy to help.

I suspect that they are talking about this. Cut the rest of this crap out.
 
From the website, it seems that WD is not marketing and advertising these drives to the average consumer or "gamers", they are looking at businesses that use hundreds or thousands of computers like search engines.

Your 700-watt PSU is not of their concern, anyways just because the PSU is rated 700-watts doesn't mean it actually uses that much.
 
Yeah I agree, they look to be targeted at large corporations and data centres. If you use it in a single desktop they project average yearly power savings between $1.87 and $2.31 per drive. Not exactly ground breaking, especially when you look at 24/7 operations (Enterprise) where they project $10 of power savings per year per drive.
