I have a Netgear ReadyNas NV+ and will use these generation of drives (this is a third gen of the caviar green) primarily in my RAID array (when my other drives finally give out). One, because they are cheap and two because they are cheap. 2 terabytes of movies aren't that important and I double back up my documents to two separate drives (Seagate USB).If your data is important, spend more money and use Hitachi or something more reliable. Otherwise, buy these and do regular backups to another USB drive.

You can't beat storage. I upgraded from two 1tb drives raided. The 64meg cache helps the extender find shows faster over the network.

I am the sort of person who reviews hardware products and instantly goes for the 1-star reviews to find out what's wrong with it. I did that here before even posting this review, and am astonished by how many people report it failing after 1 year to 1 day.I can say I've had this drive for at least 3 years now, potentially 4, and it has never caused me problems. Never made any noise, never been too hot, never crashed or failed or disconnected.I should say as a caution that I have used the drive as a secondary storage-disk (not bootable) the entire time. It's still working, though.

We have been having issues with our computer and haven't wuite figured out what it causing it yet. From reading other reviews I am nervous that it may be caused by this. I will update my review when I have a definite answer.

What do you say? This hard drive was bought as additional storage for a media center I built last October, into which I put a WD20EARS 2 tb drive, what a deal it was only 70 bucks, and then the flood and they went to 170 bucks. So I waited until they were back down to 120 and bought this one (a later model of the same drive) WE20EARX 2 tb. before it came in and could be installed the first one failed at five or six months old and now the additional storage has had to become a replacement, time will tell if it better than the first. I BOUGHT WD based on reputation so it serves to say maybe matching isn't the best way to go. especially when you have lost 2TB of storage

I use 2tb Western Digital green drives and decided to upgrade to this 3tb. No issues on install or performance, but Amazon really needs to package these better. Mine came inside the standard plastic "endpiece" box with just a strip of blister wrap next to it. The drive seems fine but it should have been double-boxed. The downside is that because this drive is so big...you'll likely have everything you own on it when it finally crashes.NOTE: When I ordered a 2tb from them a year ago an it was sent with no packing in a box, ping-ponging around inside. Seems like and Amazon trend unfortunately.

The hard drive has been working flawlessly once we made the transition from the prior hard drive that failed at about 22 months old.

I love Amazon, i shop on here religiously, however i bought this item 6 months ago, and i am just now finding out, that they sent me the wrong item. they advertised the model "WD20EARX", but i just checked and i got "WD20EARXSP" had no idea there was a difference. Unfortunately for me mine, is a Sata II not a III which explains why it's so horrifically slow. I believe it's also 5400RPM instead of 7200RPM. it's a great product overall, but if you order, check your model numbers with excruciating detail. I'm surprised I even found out!

Bought 3 of these for $100 each on Amazon. I know they are not "designed" for a NAS system, but the "Green" features are negated by the constant head parking of the drive which would render it useless after about 1 year causing you to buy another...how is this saving the planet?!

Purchased for a home NAS server running DriveBender. Capacity, price, and reliability are all important to me for a "Green Drive" and this one has excelled on all points.

I purchased this drive to use in a RAID1 configuration off an Adaptec 6805E to build a new VMWare ESXi 5.0 host. This is not an enterprise drive and that created a big headache for me. This is likely due the lack of error correction timeout control and other things about the drive that are not enterprise. I returned it for a WD RE 2TB (WD2003FYYS), an enterprise drive. I have a lot of experience with drives, but thought I would be able short-circuit good practice just this one time to save some money and get SATA 6.0 Gbps. It did not work out, although probably not because of the drive. Just be aware of the limitations when experimenting and save yourself some time. This might work great on an ICH10 or other ICH "host" raid config, but did not do well with the Adaptec. The initial build time of a 2.6TB RAID1 array was 64hours over Thanksgiving. Insanely long. This was done within the Adaptec boot-time configuration utility and not with the system running an OS.I have had great experience with WD.. having worked at a company where I used thousands of them. Using the right tool for the job is always a good idea and will generally save you money and time.. I wrote this for you folks that might be pondering the same idea. I did this on an older Mukilteo host with PCI Express 1.0 x4 slot.flintrockco

I have tons of WD drives and they've been around for awhile (including two 2tb 'green' drives), so I decided to give this one a chance even with the half/half ratings it had.This drive is great! Popped it into my esata dock, turned it on, and windows disk management saw it instantly, as the full ~2.7tb. Initialized it, making sure to pick GPT, and then formatted it. Windows saw the whole partition, no fuss.To test the drive, I did a low level format, then a disk check. When both came back fine, I copied as many files as I could fit on the drive, and then did another disk check. Came back fine again, so I ran DiskMark to see what speeds I was getting. When the drive was almost full (~3gb free), I was averaging around 30-40MBps. after I reformatted and ran the test again, I averaged ~60MBps. Compare this to a smaller hard drive and you will see that this is considerably slower. (I just ran DiskMark on a full WD 500GB drive that's about 5 years old, and it averaged 80MBps)However, 30MBps is plenty of speed to stream movies, which is what I'm using it for. This drive won't make the best boot drive, but it makes a great archival one.As I've only owned it for about a week now, I can't comment on long term reliability, but I will update if anything happens.For now, I do recommend this drive.Edit 11.15.11After owning this drive for a couple of months now without any failures, it is a very attractive option. However, your mileage may vary, since mine seems to be a bit slower than a friend's who bought the same version (I was getting around 60-80MB/s while the drive was pretty full when I was copying files to his). All-in-all it's a good drive.

I purchased several different 3TB drives (WD, Seagate, Hitachi) for a RAID storage computer. I had a hell of a time getting it to work-- I kept getting drive errors, device timeouts. I wrote some testing and diagnostic programs; I swapped out every variable (drive, mobo, raid card, even the enclosure), and yes I updated to the latest drivers of everything.The problem came down to the WD "caviar green" disks. When they were plugged directly in to the motherboard, they were slow. When plugged into drive cards, they timed out and failed. The Hitachi disks, in identical conditions, had 8x speed and never failed.When I put these WD drives in an external enclosure and use them as a backup drive for my wife's mac, they seem to work.. but they're totally unusable for use in a server, and I'm afraid to actually rely on them.

I've had previous positive experiences with WD drives and this one doesn't disappoint! It installed easily, is really fast and amazingly quiet! Installed it this afternoon, transferred files and did a full backup of my SSD. Have not heard a single sound come from the case, aside from the fans.This is the first time installing a secondary drive on Win 7, so WD's video on their site helped immensely. Until I watched the video, I thought I had done something incorrectly. Nope, just had to go through a part of Windows which is new on Win 7 to set up the new drive. If installing on Win 7, be sure to watch the video. It's short and pretty accurate. However, watch the examples on the screen more than listening to the woman speaking. The terms she uses are not what is worded on the screen, so can get slightly confusing if not watching closely.

As others have pointed out the earlier WD Green drives have had very poor reliability. I've had two 640GB WD Greens die within a month. Our current set is doing OK so far, but we aware of the IDLE3 timer. In an effort to be "green" these drives park their heads after 8 seconds of non-use. Fine, but if you are using them on a Linux system where the drives sync every 20 seconds, you can guess what happens. 3 head parks (Load Cycle Count for those who speak SMART) per minute. 1440 minutes/day = 4320 cycles/day. Given the rated life of 300K cycles, your MTBF for the drive is a whopping 69 days... There is a firmware tweak to turn the idle timer (IDLE3) to a more sane value, but this is "non-standard". We won't be buying anymore green drives. They may save power, but given that they go to the landfills 50x faster than other drives, they really aren't that green...

I received this as a warranty replacement for my EARS drive. I thought, oh, the EARX drive is probably better, being newer design.Wrong. 6 months. I have the drive properly mounted inside a commercial system case, with proper airflow, and all fans working.It's difficult when even active cooling isn't enough.I've come to believe that, short of paying for the "Enterprise" drive, this manufacturer's product is unreliable. No way I should have to replace the same drive, multiple times. This doesn't even account for some of the 3TB green and external drives which simply shut down while in use.This is probably why you don't see WD drives in enterprise systems. You see Hitachi and Seagate.Though, even Seagate has bad drives and good drives.My current "hasn't failed in over 10 months of power-on time" drive models are:* WD1002FBYS* ST32000542AS

This most likely has been mentioned in other reviews. But for prospective purchasers - one VERY big caveat. This drive will not be recognized by Win XP 64 as a 3Tb drive. It shows up as about 760Gb due to the 2Tb size restriction of this OS.Apparently if you download a 3rd party device driver (boot loader), it is a workaround that should let you use this - but as 2 partitions, one being a max 2Tb. In my system, the machine this was to go into, it is a mission-critical video server that I cannot take any chances with installing funky device drivers to make the machine recognize the 3Tb drive. Sadly, back to Amazon this one is going.Again, this has already probably been mentioned, only wish I had read of this limitation before buying and paying next day shipping.

I bought two 2-TB WD hard disk for my NAS system. So far I have not had any issue with the disk. Amazon had a deal for few days on these disk - so find it to be value for the money.The packaging was perfect and it is easy to install.
