Western Digital Caviar Green 3TB Hard Drive Review

Six months ago we took a look at a number of hard drives which included a bit of everything really. Some high end SSDs, budget models too. High performance mechanical drives and laptop models were included also. Mixed in with those was the 2TB Seagate Barracuda XT, a drive designed mainly as a storage volume it exceeded the capacity of most drives on the market at the time and seemed, well... HUGE.

No market stands still though and today on our test bench we have the latest product from Western Digital. The Caviar Green 3TB drive has the highest capacity of any desktop drive on the market at the moment and today we will look at how easy it is to set up along with the performance that can be achieved in single drive and RAID 0 modes.
