WD Caviar Green 1 TB desktop drive

The WD10EADS is a 3.5-inch internal hard drive with a 1000 GB capacity, a 5400 RPM spindle speed and a 32 MB cache. It connects through a SATA 3 Gb/s interface and includes Western Digital's StableTrac, IntelliSeek, IntelliPark and IntelliPower technologies along with perpendicular magnetic recording.

Suited to bulk storage and quiet builds

This drive suits users who need large, affordable capacity for media libraries, backups or secondary data volumes where low noise and reduced power draw matter more than peak throughput. It is not for buyers who want the fastest possible boot or application load times, nor for workloads that demand sustained high random I/O performance.

Check SATA power and data connections

Before ordering, verify that your motherboard or controller provides a free SATA 3 Gb/s port and that your power supply has an available SATA power connector. Confirm the chassis has a 3.5-inch drive bay or a compatible mounting bracket, and ensure your operating system can recognise a 1000 GB volume without additional drivers.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need a SATA 3Gb/s port and a 3.5-inch drive bay for the WD10EADS?

Yes, the drive uses a standard SATA 3Gb/s interface and the 3.5-inch form factor, so a compatible SATA port and a 3.5-inch bay are required.

Will the WD10EADS work on a motherboard that only supports SATA 1.5Gb/s?

The drive is backward compatible with SATA 1.5Gb/s controllers, though it will operate at the slower 1.5Gb/s transfer rate instead of its native 3Gb/s speed.

How can I confirm the WD10EADS is running at 5400 RPM after installation?

Check the reported rotational speed in your BIOS or a system information tool such as CrystalDiskInfo; it should show 5400 RPM for this model.
