Western Digital launched 2.5TB and 3TB internal hard disc drives in India

Western Digital has launched 2.5TB and 3TB HDD versions of the WD Caviar Green in India, priced at Rs. 8,300 and Rs. 10,700 respectively. The two drives feature the WD's Green Power Technology, which will apparently reduce power consumption, lowers operating temperatures, increase reliability, and decrease acoustical noise. 
Designed as "next-generation PC storage" for 64-bit operating systems, the WD Caviar Green 2.5TB and 3TB hard disc drives can also be used as secondary external storage in "legacy 32-bit systems”. The drives come bundled with an Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI)-compliant Host Bus Adapter (HBA), which seemingly enable the operating system to use a known driver with correct support for large capacity drives, and solve the previous 2.19 TB drive barrier, on Windows 7 and Vista operating systems.
More information can be found on Western Digital website.
