Lower power usage desktop hard drives?

[WintersFury]

Ok, I remember a few months back that someone posted a link to an article that said WD was creating some low power desktop hard drives. Since then I haven't seen them for sale anywhere or anything like that, so anyone happen to know if that happened or not? And if it did, where can I get some??

Thanks!

Well I did a bit more looking and realized I had completely overlooked them due to them being variable speed 5400-7200rpm and I just saw the 5400 and stopped paying attention. So nevermind the question.

If anyone is interested they have them at newegg

its not variable speed.the GP series can spin anywhere between 5400-7200 depending on the size of the drive.

the 500gb drives will spin faster to cover the latency where as the 1tb drives don't have to spin as fast. infact a review found the 1tb GP drive to be only ~5400 RPM
