The 2TB Caviar Green SATA Internal Hard Drive from Western Digital is an internal hard drive, designed with energy-efficiency and quiet operation in mind. It features a SATA interface and standard 3.5" form factor for installation in desktop computers.
This Caviar Green drive uses Advanced Format technology. Advanced Format technology allows the Caviar Green to read and write more data onto the same available space. It uses 4K-byte sectors instead of the more traditional 512-byte sectors, allowing for increased media format efficiency and enabling larger drive capacities. After installing the drive, you may be required to run Western Digital's Align software. The Western Digital Align software creates partitions on the Advanced Format drive to ensure it provides full performance for certain configurations.
