Western Digital was founded in 1970 and has grown into a global leader in the development and manufacturing of hard drives and solid state drives for internal, external, portable and shared storage applications. WD hard drives are used in desktop and notebook computers, mobile and handheld devices, corporate networks and home entertainment equipment. The company’s solid-state storage is used in netcom, industrial, embedded computing, medical, military and aerospace markets.

Technology Leadership
In recent years, we led the market in many key areas of digital storage technology. We were the first to go green with our innovative WD GreenPower Technology. We’re a leader in introducing drives that feature Advanced Format Technology (AFT) which is paving the way to even higher capacity drives. And our popular 2.5-inch, 10,000 RPM WD VelociRaptor drive is the fastest SATA drive in the world.

Growing Green
In support of environmental sustainability, in 2007 Western Digital launched a series of hard disk drives employing WD GreenPower Technology, which uses sophisticated engineering techniques to conserve electric power and dissipate heat. This new platform makes it possible for energy-conscious WD customers to build systems with higher capacities and the right balance of system performance, reliability and energy conservation.

Drives with WD GreenPower Technology save large organizations such as financial institutions and search engine services up to $10 per drive per year in electricity costs. Thus, a large data center with 10,000 drives can realize annual savings of as much as $100,000.
