WD officially announces 2TB drive

Western Digital has officially announced two terabyte hard drives – giving it the largest capacity hard drive in the industry.

The storage specialists are rightfully proud of the huge landmark, with the 3.5inch platform based on WD's industry-leading 500GB/platter technology.

Just as impressive is that the drives are part of the Caviar Green range – which uses less power than typical drives.

Power saving

"Saving power without sacrificing storage capacity is what consumers want, and what many businesses are requiring today said WD's Senior Vice-President Jim Morris.

"With the launch of the new WD Caviar Green 2 TB hard drive, customers receive the additional capacities needed to operate today's highly advanced programs and high-resolution digital files while using less power than typical drives with similar speeds and capacities."

The drives will be available 'later this month' says WD, with the MSRP set at €299 (£279).
