 So today I'll be unboxing the Western Digital 1 terabyte green hard drive and again I'm doing a hard drive I know that's not exactly the most popular thing to unbox but the reason for it is that this is a fairly unique hard drive so I mean the reason I'm unboxing it is actually because I needed to go buy one today because one of the drives died in my Windows home server so the reason I chose the green one and since I'm actually telling you about something I picked with my own hard-earned money is because a it is green okay so what that means is that uses it has lower power consumption than most of the other drives on the market while still offering reasonably good performance for a storage application like a Windows home server or an external hard drive enclosure and how it achieves that is it actually has onboard circuitry that tells it which RPM to run at in order to maintain a certain power envelope and a certain heat output so you can see it has a standard SATA interface at the back so that's a SATA 2 data and a SATA 2 power and then on the top of the drive you can see the label is green and thank you for checking out my unboxing of the WD green 1 terabyte drive I'm gonna go install this in my home server now
