Not an SSD, but will be more than adequate for storing music and other data. I am a little jaded as I purchased an SSD drive as well at the time and it is amazingly quicker. I went with a 256Gb SSD and this as my secondary drive. Working very well with this setup so far, does require that you are fairly careful about where you set things up to be stored and to be downloaded to as the smaller SSD can be filled without much effort/thought, but overall well worth the expense. Drive itself is bare bones BTW, no cables or instructions included, which is to be expected but not for a new person I suppose.

I bought the Western Digital Caviar Green drive, 1.5 TB, based on the generally good reviews, the reasonable price (about $115), and also because it comes with free software (WD Acronis TrueImage, available as a free download on the WD Support site) so that I could create a bootable backup of my disk drive. The drive works just fine (based on 1 week of use), but the free software refused to install, repeatedly saying that I don't have a WD drive installed on my system. I tried WD support, which did respond, but their suggestion was simply to download and try installing the software again, to no avail. So, I ended up using another product to clone my hard drive onto the WD drive. So far, the WD drive is fast, quiet, and working fine with about 100,000 files on it, and lots of free room for future use.

I bought these drives for a computer that will primarily be used as a server (kept on long hours.)I've had two problems working with it in Linux. In the first case - by computer did not recognize it as a 2TB drive because the bios (about 2 years old) had trouble recognizing the advanced format (4k sectors vice 512bit sectors It took a lot of research on the net to figure out how to install these drives correctly and format them.In the second case I realized I was getting a fair number of Load Cycle Counts (using the smartmon tools in linux. This is because they are green drives and park the heads after 8 seconds (to save energy). To rectify this I had to use the wdidle3 tool on a boot disk in linux (not easy). I tried disabling the timer with wdidle3 but was unsuccessful (that made it even worse - the drive was parking every second or so). I did it again and set the timer to 300 seconds (the maximum allowed) and it seems to be behaving with those numbers.I have a hard time faulting WD for this, I don't think they hide anything in their descriptions. But it did make for a very difficult refurbishment of this computer. If I had it to do over again I would suggest using the "Black" or "Blue" drives. This should (at least) solve the Load Cycle Count (LLC) problem. I have never had performance problems with WD drives.

I bought several drives recently to increase the storage on my HP MediaSmart server (EX470). The first drive I bought was 3TB, and after hours of trying to figure out why the server wasn't reading the full capacity of the drive, I found out it was not compatible. The 2nd drive was a seagate that was DOA. This was the 3rd drive I bought. After hours spent with the other drives, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I could pop this one in and there where no issues. Might be a little pricey, and it may not hold the most data, and it may not be the fastest drive, but the fact that it worked was good enough for me. If you are looking to increase the capacity of your 1st gen HP MediaSmart server, this is the drive for you.

This is a reliable, quite, cool running, LARGE SATA III HD. I used this drive for WMC (Windows Media Center) PVR. I needed a lot of hard drive space but needed it to stay really cool and quite in a small case. If you want speed (like I did) put a small SSD drive in your system for the operating system, then use the WD Green drive for storage space.Something to consider: The 2.5 ad 3TB WD Green drives use a little bit more wattage (heat) and have a little faster transfer rate. Download the spec sheet from Western Digital for more information on this.Just in case you're trying to do the same thing, I have listed my recently built media center parts list.My system build (works great)(Photo's included)-- SilverStone Aluminum/Steel Micro ATX HTPC Computer Case GD05B (Black)-- Gigabyte AMD GA-A75M-UD2H (rev 1.0) Mother board-- AMD A8-3850 APU with AMD Radeon 6550 HD Graphics 2.9GHz Socket FM1 100W Quad-Core-- Kingston Technology HyperX 8 GB (2x4 GB Modules) 1600 MHz DDR3 Dual Channel Kit (PC3 12800)-- OCZ Agility 2 OCZSSD2-2AGTE60G 2.5" 60GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive-- Western Digital Caviar Green 2 TB SATA III Hard Drive - WD20EARX-- Pioneer Internal 12x Blu-ray Disc/DVD/CD Writer BDR-206DBK-- AmuletDevices remote control and IR Receiver-- Antec (Neo HE650)(NeoPower 650) 650 Watt Power Supply-- IOGEAR Multimedia Keyboard with Laser Trackball

Excellent HD. Plenty fast for desktop use. Well packed. Ran Disk mark, got 110 mbs read and 47 mbs write. Now running this WD 2TB Green as my primary drive and 1.5 TB WD green as a secondary drive for data folders (doc's, pictures's etc). The Cloning (imaging) software is available on WD's web site for free. It is "True Image" (147 mb) in their (support) downloads section. After searching all cloning programs I thought I would check the HD makers and they all offer one free. This one from WD is the best. I mean "Why Pay for it, if it's FREE"? It works GREAT, cloned to new drive and booted to new drive in about 30 min's counting the old drive removal time and installation of the new drive. Everything was there, all programs, settings etc...Perfect.

Having has bad experience with Seagate 3TB drives recently, I returned them and bought 2 of these WD Greens. 3 months later, 1 just failed and brings any system down its connected to. Fat chance to get data from it. Now I have to fight WD under warranty :0 Good by data.

I purchased 2 of these to use in a Raid 1 setup. The speed and price of these drives is great, except both died within 1 year. These drives got regular use, and I would expect them to last longer than 6 months. One died after 4 months, the other at 6 months. Both have been replaced under warranty but now I am worried of losing my data on these new drives. For one drive to die, I would have assumed I just got a bad one, but for both, I am assuming that these drives are junk.

I picked up 5 of these at $150/ea and put them in a Hardware RAID5 array. Despite all of the hype, these drives were noticeably slower than my 5x Samsung F4s in Hardware RAID5. I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed at that.Aside from that, they sip power, and are 3TB

2TB hard drive was used with Macally USB/FW enclosure. The combination seemed to work well for about five months. Then the hard drive died... could not even be recognized by BIOS via any data port of the enclosure on PC or Mac. Tried to access drive directly using USB-to-SATA/IDE connection... same result. Am sending drive back under warranty to Western Digital. I've never had a hard drive fail so quickly. Very surprised and disappointed with this product so far. Hopefully the replacement drive can at least last longer than the first one. Maybe six months?

This was the first "bare" drive that I have purchased from Amazon. I was surprised at the very poor packing job that Amazon did for a "bare" drive.The "padding" consisted of standard shipping air bags, all of which had deflated. The supposedly air tight protective pouch on the drive had worn through in the corners, and the drive showed some cosmetic wear along some edgesAmazon will hopefully (eventually) learn that "standard" shipping air bags are unsuitable for shipping hard drives, because corners of the drive will puncture them.In the mean time watch out for poorly packaged drives, and do not hesitate to make Amazon take them back.And to rate the drive itself, I use 3TB drives from both WD and Hitachi for backup. I've not noticed much difference between this WD drive and the Hitachi equivalent, though the WD seems slightly "noisier" than the Hitachi. Both makes seem about equal in their longevity.

Two years ago I bought two of the 2tb green drives (the prior EARS version) thinking it would be good for the environment and I'd except the modest performance reduction. Both drives failed almost exactly one year later and within weeks of each other. Sent them both back to WD for warranty replacement. Now, one year later one of the replacement drives just failed. Until this experience I had been a 100% WD user thinking they were qualitatively above the rest. Not any more. I gave it two stars because the WD warranty replacement process was excellent. But if a drive cannot be relied upon for more than an year it is worse than worthless.

I use it for weekly backups of my MacBook Pro and am satisfied with the transfer rate. Additionally I verified that I could boot up the OS from this external drive using a Firewire connection. I've never had a problem with the WD drives; this is the 3rd one I've put into service.

Everything came as ordered. It is used as secondary drive and plays constantly when in use for home use, no raid. Works perfect and is really quiet. Highly recommended.

I bought the 2.5 terabyte drive and installed it in a 64bit windows 7 box as a data only drive. After booting windows I used the windows disk manager to initialize the drive as a GPT partition. It did so but only reported 280GB. I check the bios and the drive was showing up as a 301GB drive. I wrote WD tech support for help on this and got no reply. So after a couple of days of waiting for a resolution, I tried using GPARTED to create the partitions. GPARTED could see the full 2.5 terabytes, but it would not let me create any new partitions, so I deleted the existing partition windows 7 had created and used GPARTED to re-initialize the drive as a GPT drive. I was then able to create a single NTFS partition using the full drive size.I can't give any opinion on the longevity of this drive, but it does run quite and my transfer speeds were good. The price was great. I only gave this drive 4 stars because the tech support seems non-existent. I hope documenting my experience may help someone else with a similar problem installing these drives as a non-booting data drive.

I spent what must have been days looking nervously at reviews for these large capacity drives. Almost anywhere you go, nearly every large capacity drive has about 20% of user reviews claiming immediate or short-term failure. On Amazon, the caviar black (at sixty bucks more expensive for the same capacity) has the best user reviews in the consumer space. That said, if you're storing 2+ TB of... well, anything really, and you don't use SOME sort of redundancy system (I prefer Drobo; RAID or windows home server, or even a RAID 1 NAS box like a DNS-323 would also work) you may as well start writing your 1 star review as well. If you spend the money to set yourself up for success, you won't be disappointed. My array built on these disks is running like a champ!

Simply put, this hard drive came defective. Now, I've used many WD drives in the past, and they've all worked well, but that really doesn't excuse this. I bought this hard drive back in November, but I never got around to installing it until a few days ago. I've spent hours trying to repair all the bad sectors, but nothing seems to be working. I've run WD Data Lifeguard Tools, and it fails to find any errors (I guess that their software is just as crappy as this defective drive). I've also run several professional tools to diagnose and correct any bad sectors, but none of them work.This wouldn't be so bad, except that I am past the deadline for returns. Is this really fair? I only opened the package a few days ago. This item came defective, and I shouldn't be stuck with it. At the moment, about all it's good for is a $150 doorstop or paperweight.

We have a 4 TB studio II USB external drive and one of the drives bit the dust. Bought this drive, unbowed it, plugged into Studio II case and then in about 20 seconds the Western Digital Mac app was already rebuilding the Raid 1 configuration. No reboot no configuring.Solid drive, same interface as 32mb 2TB earlier drive.

I bought it for my iMac (2005, PPC) as my old hard drive died. I was not sure if my old iMac could handle a 1TB hard drive but installation was very easy and after installing the OS it worked perfectly. Noise is similar to my old 250GB drive which is to say not very loud, only slightly noticeable. I didn't really measure but my impression after 2 months is that the computer starts faster. Overall very satisfied so far with my purchase.

This is a great product but your windows system might not directly recognize it.Make sure you have a 64 bit operating systemMake sure you have the latest version of your bios.Make sure you have the latest drivers.Make sure you have the latest drivers from intel especially the Intel Rapid Storage technology. ([...])And when you see your 3TB drive, convert it to a GPT disk in Disk management or you wont be able to allocate more than 2TB.Not too difficult!
