The hard drives also use a special technology, IntelliSeek, to reduce power consumption. It calculates an optimum seek speed to eliminate hasty movement of the actuator that produces noise and requires power, which is common in other drives.
Manufacturer's Suggest Retail Price (MSRP) for the WD Caviar SE16 750 GB is USD 249.
