Western Digital (WD(r)), manufacturers of hard drives, will attend IFSEC 2009 at the UK NEC Birmingham exhibition centre in May. The WD exhibition stand, F57 in Hall 4 will showcase product examples which are the firm says suited to manufacturers of video and security equipment.
WD will have a number of hard drive staff available to discuss product and technology issues and there will also be customer examples showing how the company’s technology has been integrated into end equipment.
In July 2007 Western Digital announced an environmentally
friendly GreenPower(tm) family of WD(r) desktop, enterprise and CE hard drives. WD has reduced power consumption by up to 40 per cent the compnay claimed compared to competitors’ drives with the combination of WD’s IntelliSeek, IntelliPark, and IntelliPower technologies. Sales of these drives now form a significant (20pc-plus) proportion of all drives shipped into the market by WD, demonstrating the firm says that there is an increasing demand for the low-power range.
The reason, they say is that industry is seeking products with lower heat dissipation, providing increased reliability and longevity, which in turn leads to a lower carbon footprint.
WD are attending IFSEC for the first time.
