Capacity and interface
This Western Digital WD Green drive provides 2TB of storage on a 3.5 inch form factor with a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface. It is suited for desktop users who need large, affordable capacity for archival or secondary data. The 64MB cache helps manage frequent read requests.
Upgrade considerations
It replaces older, smaller SATA drives when more space is needed without moving to a faster spindle speed. The jump is worth it if your workload tolerates 5400 RPM latency and you value lower power draw over peak throughput. Buyers who need sustained write performance or minimal bad-sector risk should look elsewhere.
Sustained operation
GreenPower technology keeps operating temperatures lower during long sessions, while IntelliSeek and IntelliPower reduce consumption by up to 40 percent compared to standard desktop drives. The drive was erased to DoD 5220.22 M compliance and tested good, though up to 25 bad sectors may be present. Acoustics stay ultra-quiet under continuous load.

Questions about this item
Does the 3.5" WD20EARS fit a standard desktop drive bay and SATA backplane?
Yes, the 3.5" form factor matches standard desktop bays and the SATA 3.0Gb/s interface connects to any SATA power and data cable.
What is the correct jumper setting when installing this SATA drive in a legacy system?
SATA drives do not use master or slave jumpers; leave the jumper block untouched and connect the drive directly to a SATA port.
How many bad sectors are acceptable before replacing this used 2TB drive?
The supplier notes up to 25 bad sectors may be present; monitor SMART reallocated-sector count and replace the drive if it grows beyond that level.
