Article: "WD ups Caviar HDD capacity, lowers thermals" It's light on technical details, but the claim is that the new Caviar drives use less power and produce less heat than traditional 5400rpm drives, even though these are 7200rpm drives. They are available in 2MB and 8MB cache versions with capacities of up to 320GB. (EIDE and SATA versions, of course) Besides the drives themselves, the big news is that drive manufacturers are taking heat issues seriously. This makes sense even without the embedded market, as I would bet that a high percentage of their warranty replacements are from overheated drives. --PC
