When we talk about hard drives, we usually tend to think about a PC. But the fact is that hard drives are used at a lot many places other than in a PC. Western Digital manufactures hard drives with special features targeting audio video professionals. The GreenPower WD AV-GP (WD20EVDS) is one such drive with a 2.0 TB capacity, and boasts of lower power consumption than the earlier versions.
Incidentally, this is the second 2.0 TB hard drive in the market from WD, the earlier one being WD20EADS. The Green moniker means that this is tuned to consume less power and is therefore energy efficient. Would that affect the performance in any way? Is this drive any different from the other and less expensive counterparts? We'll find out as we put it through our test suite.
