Hard drives

One way to green your computer use is to buy with the intention of upgrading components as time goes by, instead of planning on replacing the entire computer every couple years. Hard drives can be an integral part of that plan and the ones featured here are Energy Star rated, so you know they'll be as energy efficient as possible (while you're reducing waste by keeping your old computer up to speed without sending the big parts off to the landfill bi-annually). Some of these eco-friendly hard drives---from companies like Dell, Iomega and SimpleTech---even feature green materials like bamboo and recycled casing in addition to being Energy Star certified.

HDD Cruiser by Aleratec The Aleratec HDD Cruiser will simultaneously sanitize up to 4 HDDs to assure that all confidential data is unreadable. It can also duplicate up to 3 HDDs simultaneously.

The HDD Cruiser is a stand alone unit and no computer is required for operation so there is no need to tie up a computer for hours running complex software to duplicate or sanitize hard disk drives.The HDD Cruiser has individual, removable, locking, aluminum drive trays. In both sanitizing and duplicating the controller must access the entire capacity of each drive, so the drives must run for extended periods and cooling is of the utmost importance. The HDD Cruiser has 10 ultra quiet cooling fans and the only from Aleratec aluminum drive trays offer the best possible thermal conductivity. The l... More

Recycling is the reprocessing of old materials into new products, with the aims of preventing the waste of potentially useful materials, reducing the consumption of fresh raw materials, reducing energy usage, reducing air (from incineration) and water (from landfilling) pollution by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions as compared to virgin production.
Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on the planet and therefore highly sustainable. It is an incredibly versatile plant used for many everyday applications from flooring and wall paneling to paper and fabrics. Some of the processes through which Bamboo is turned from its raw form into usable products can have a negative environmental impact.
Energy Star qualifies products that are 10 to 25% more efficient than required by the federal standard while providing top performance and innovative features.
