Western Digital Caviar Green 1Tb WD10EADS – Benchmark
December 17th, 2009 / 3 Comments » / by AF8AB
I recently bought a Western Digital Caviar Green 1Tb Hard Drive with 32Mb Cache [Model: WD10EADS] – Its a low power consuming hard drive. I got this specific model because The Caviar Black was more expensive and Seagate Barracuda is not a very reliable option (though fast). I am going to use it for normal Backup so I am good to go.
I used HD Tach and HD Tune Pro to benchmark this Hard Drive. I have also included test results of some other drives for comparison that include another WD 320Gb HDD, An 8Gb Corsair USB and a 320Gb laptop drive (Built by Toshiba) that came with my HP Pavilion dv6.
Operating at 37° C WD10EADS is cooler and silent than any other drive in 2009
It gave me very satisfactory and constant transfer rates ~60Mb/s and ~55Mb/s in transferring data over HDD to HDD and over 1Gb/s LAN respectively. Its around 80% used.
WD10EADS is the least power consuming HD ever built. Tomshardware Power requirement test results.
Idle Power Requirement: 2.91Watts
Power Requirement Video: 4.28Watts
Here are my benchmark Results.
Write speed going above 80Mb/s even though the drive is loaded with data = EXCELLENT! for an Eco Drive.
Buying a Hi-End balanced Gaming PC
December 16th, 2009 / 10 Comments » / by AF8AB
Buying a performing, balanced but budget Gaming PC has always been a challenge. No matter its 2001 (wink) or 2009. Decent performing (40+fps) yet not mighty expensive hardware does comes with alot of research and a base price point. So, we did both and stepped out of home with time spent in research and Rs. 50,000 in our pocket for CH|LL’s new desktop system.
Here is some eye-candy I’ve shot for the creative readers. Review & benchmarks will be posted very soon.
Ingredients:
Intel Core2Duo E7400
ASUS P5P43TD
Cooler Master 460W
Corsair XMS3 DDR3
RADEON 4770 HD 512MB DDR3
Western Digital 1TB Caviar Green HD
HP Super-Drive DVD-RW Lightscribe
3 Hours of Mayhem in HC
