There is a host of terabyte hard drives in the market and therefore is no longer a subject of awe. To make their products better than their competitors, manufacturers are therefore compelled to offer new features. Energy consumption is a sore issue today and we see most companies offering green products that claim to consume less power, thus saving precious electricity, and therefore saving you money in the long run. Hard drives are no exception, and Hitachi, which was the first to bring out a terabyte hard drive, has also brought out another iteration of the same drive, but this one claims to be a lot more energy-efficient. Let's take a closer look at the Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.B.

I have two PCs and hence i bought two 1.5Gb Segate HDDs ( bought 3 months apart) along with two external enclosure , both of which have has esata + USB 2.0. One enclosure even has a cooling Fan on it. I have noticed that the both enclosures ( and HDDs) remain really cool when connected via USB and gets quite warm when connected via E-sata. I guess, more speed available on E-sata does come with more HDD heat generated. So for normal usage, i use USB connection and i shift to E-sata only when i have massive data to be shifted to the ext drive. Use Best of Both Worlds :)
