As hard drive capacities increase, the power required to run those drives increases as well. Currently available 1 TB hard drives have a typical power consumption rating greater than 13.5 watts. The Merlin Go Green Power Saving External Hard Disks deliver power savings as the primary attribute.
Green drives from MERLIN yield average drive power savings of 4-5 watts over standard USB External drives while maintaining solid performance.
That power savings equates to reducing CO2 emission by up to 60 kilograms per drive per year - the equivalent of taking your car off the road for 14 days each year. This new platform makes it possible for our energy-conscious customers to build systems with higher capacities and the right balance of system performance, ensured reliability and energy conservation.

Consuming less power lowers the electricity bill. By how much? It depends on several factors: The system type (desktop, server, DVR, external drive); how many hours per year the drives run; other factors such as air conditioning costs and power supply efficiency; and the cost of a kilowatt hour.
Merlin USB External Hard Disks are plug and play - they require no additional drivers to work with Windows XP/2000 and VISTA. They also come with software to make backing up your data a breeze.
