Specifications
WD20EADS 2TB
Surprise! It is a hard drive and looks like any other hard drive would. Like the saying goes, it is what is on the inside that counts... And there's a lot inside this drive to count. The green stickers on the drive label really make it known that this is a green product from Western Digital. Being that this drive is one of WD's Caviar Green series, it has excellent power consumption and a quite operation. The rating idle and load power consumption features are actually fairly spot on at about 4 Watts for idle and about 7 Watts at load.
WD drives usually have the assortment of black stickers hiding the screws to get to the internals of the drive. The labeling on the drive gives some jumper options to limit the physical size reported by the drive and some other options. As you can see, the drive was born on February 6th, 2009. This drive is a baby. It was made in Thailand.
The bottom and back of the drive... looks like a normal hard drive. Other than the PCB doesn't have any real big components exposed on the bottom, the drive is fairly standard. We are interested in the storage size, after all. Power and data connections are the standard SATA variety.
