      E-Green

      New Power Saving

      ASUS believes that Green technologies help humanity bring a more healthy and wonderful world. What can we do to help reduce the energy consumption globally? With the philosophy of environment protection, ASUS gives you a new power saving E-Green and stability-OTS and quiet- QuieTrack green drive experience.


      The innovative E-Green Engine technology features an E-Green Mode that automatically closes drive applications when not in use to help conserve energy - helping the environment by decreasing CO2 emissions and reducing the depletion of trees.


      E-Green Engine technology provides an E-Green Mode which activates when the drives are idle for 2 minutes. Once activated, drive applications are closed when not in use to help conserve energy – helping the environment by saving energy, and in turn decreasing CO2 emissions and reducing the depletion of trees. According to in-depth calculations: on average, the PATA and SATA versions of the drive will provide 77% and 27% power savings respectively over competing solutions.


      The ASUS E-Green Drive automatically optimizes your drive's power consumption. E-Green displays detailed information on power saved and CO2 reduced using the ASUS drive.


      • Shows you detailed information on power saved since installing and running E-Green.
      • Allows you to select the drive you want to check for its power consumption.
      • The tree's image gradually grows based on the drive's accumulative data.

      Note 1 : This section calculates the drive's saving information since restarting computer.
      Note 2 : This section calculates the drive's accumulated saving information since install E-Green on your computer.
