My son was on a budget, and wanted as much space as his money would buy. My goal was 2TB but I found that most hard drives over 1TB had absolutely terrible ratings. I have had great luck with Western Digital drives in the past, and these green series drives have been no exception. I bought some 1TB green drives almost 4 years ago now - and they have been running night and day in a server at work without a single failure.It was worth throwing in a couple of extra bucks to get a *reliable* 2TB hard drive. No firmware updates or other nonsense necessary. We have had this drive for several months now, and no problems to speak of yet.

Considering that I paid $599 for a 52MB IDE drive in 1987...I'd have to say that things have come a long way. Anyway, I installed this drive in my (late 2009) 27" iMac and aside from not having special "Apple firmware" to report its temp to the system properly, it works great! It is a rather quiet drive and its performance is as expected! A work around for the Apple firmware issue which causes the system fans to spin at 6000rpm is to download a piece of software that utilizes the drives S.M.A.R.T. technology to report the drive temps to the MB. Once this is installed the fans calm down instantaneously!

I'm using this drive strictly as an external harddrive. After having one too many unpleasant experiences with externals, I decided I could have more security and control over the process by building it myself. I've been using the 2TB WD green for almost 3 weeks now. Its write speed is a lot faster than my last external drive, and it's great for streaming movies. I was concerned after reading some of the one star reviews, but it seems that those unfortunate people received drives that were dead on arrival. If you get a drive that isn't damaged or defective, this is a great option.

In spite of all the negative reviews, I purchased this drive back in August purely for its capacity, hoping that it won't be that bad. Two days ago I started hearing some noise and a utility revealed several SMART attributes were in the hot zone. The drive was partitioned into 6 GPT partitions, and the very last partition became RAW all of the sudden. A chkdsk /B revealed many bad sectors on the entire disk, and it's only been less than 4 months, and the drive was used for reading most of the time. I used to like WD more than SG, but now I think they are just the same. They keep increasing the capacity, but the quality declines. These WD caviar green drives are anything but green -- electronic waste is hazardous.Consider twice before making the purchase, because 3TB is a lot of data to lose.

I purchased this drive to use for expansion and primarily to store video files and for archival purposes. It has run for several months without any issues or problems.Like:- Compatibility with my desktop hardware and software- Lots of space and the drive is fast for copying and retrieving files, especially videosDislike:There were no real issues installing or setting up the drive, it is just that as a Linux user I had to carefully define the parameters to the hard drive utility. This is more of a technical setup that is related to very large hard drives and may not be relevant for other OSes.I was skeptical of buying another WD green drive since I had problems with a 500GB drive that failed after a few years, but so far this drive has been running and performing as required.

So far I haven't had any issues with this drive, it's not too loud but still not too slow, and for the price is a fairly good deal.I've been using it as a recording drive for footage from games mostly, meaning that it constantly gets written too and then has stuff deleted, moved, and changed in general. So I've kept it fairly active and the only issue I ever have had is that when trying to load multiple sections of footage, it can sometimes take a couple seconds to buffer ahead a bit. If you want a storage drive then this is good, but if you're trying to have multiple programs accessing it at the same time it can lag a bit, for my uses this hasn't been an issue though.

Since 2 of my Seagate and a samsung HDD died this year, I decide to move to Western Digital as the only HDD I have working 24/7 for years without problem is my WD raptor. The price of this 3TB is good even if it's not the best, but I think that you pay for the best quality, it does't make noise, and the speed is ok for a green version. I use it in my media server and you can see HD videos without problem on various PC at the same time. So I'm happy with my new HDD.

Mounted in a 5.25 hot swap bay as I don't have room elsewhere in this computer. The old 7200 drive in this slot was hot and noisy, around 48C. This green drive in the same slot runs at 33C despite the poor airflow, and is virtually silent. I can barely hear it if there is no other noise, and a virus scan is taking place with lots of seeks. Otherwise it may as well be silent, as the SSD does all the work.Slow is relative, being a green drive it still has good throughput, but seeks will be slow if used as an OS drive. Excellent storage/media drive.

Received the drive a day early. Plus.No screws, but it said this in the description. Come on, really, you cannot insert four screws?No cable, ditto, said in the description. I do not recall any drive I ever purchased where it came with a cable.Installation went fine - no plus or minus to WD. Good design goes to HP.The software was readily available via a google search to the WD site.The imaging, however, did not tell me I *needed* to create a boot disk. I tried to clone twice without a boot disk and it did not clone.I created a boot disk, boot, and began the clone process. It is at about 75% right now.Well, I will have to come back and update later.Update: The clone process, as they call it, took about 90 minutes. Your time may vary due to hard-drive speed and capacity. My old drive was 500GB and 5400 RPM.I rebooted to ensure the new drive did indeed have the right files on it and it did. I just like to double check things.Powered down, swapped the SATA cables from old to new - left both drives in, but now the old one is the boot drive.Rebooted and everything is splendid. Thank you WD!

I have two of these. One I have had for a while, at least more than 6 months, and the other I just purchased. I guess you need to know how to format/partition the drive to get Win7 to see it. My son had a little trouble doing this, though I don't remember having any trouble when I installed mine. Though the performance is slow, the supposedly green features make it worth it. So far so good. I use Windows Media Center to record the local PBS channel using a digital antenna. Thus I am thinking of getting another one.

Though Western Digital has been in the hard drive business a very long time, this is my first time ever using a Western Digital drive, and my experience so far has been positive. While it's a bit difficult to comment on a drive I've only had for a few days, I'll do my best to sort out the important points.First, the drive's speed is good. I've installed this as an external drive, so it's likely to be much faster when stored internally. But even so, I was able to start video from it without any delay. Drives (especially from a few years ago) often have a slight lag when spinning up from its idle state, but I haven't noticed any such lag in this drive. In my completely non-technical testing, transferring data back and forth from this drive to various other sources seems to average about 35 seconds per gigabyte. This is good, but fairly comparable to many other drives today. The installation process was also fairly comparable to other drives available today. If you've ever installed hard drives before, then you should have no problem here (though this usually depends more on your operating system than anything else). There are no quirks to the process with this drive; it is as straight-forward as possible.Since the low noise level always seems to be an important selling point, I should also mention that the drive is certainly quiet. You'll need to be less than a few inches away in a silent room in order to hear this thing spin up. This means that if you're installing it internally then you'll never be able to hear it over the computer fans. Also, I've had issues in the past with drives getting very hot (especially when stacked together), but even in my fan-less external enclosure, this Western Digital drive stays pretty cool to the touch. After a long formatting session, the drive was a bit warm, but nowhere near the point of overheating. As for the "Green" technology, it's difficult for me to judge. I have the drive hooked to an A/C output, so power efficiency isn't really a concern. If you're planning to upgrade your laptop with this drive, then I suppose it would become important for battery life. For those who are either planning to use this as an external like me or those who are putting it into a desktop, then I doubt it's going to make a difference either way.Overall, it seems to be a quality drive which I can find no faults in. The drive's speed and the installation process are fairly typical, the (low) noise level is excellent, and the "Green" technology could be very useful depending on how you plan on using the drive. At under $100, the drive is definitely a great deal.

I edit video using Sony Vegas. I work off this hard drive using AVCHD files in 1080p. No problems. Fast enough for me. Quiet too. I used to have two really fast drives on a Raid stripping system until I figured out that hard drive speed is rarely the limiting factor for speed issues when editing video (spend money on more RAM and a good video card). I'm happy with this purchase.

I purchased two of these drives to complete a home server. Less than 24 hours after first use one of the drives failed and was not usable. I returned it to Amazon. I installed the new drive and everything was working properly for 5 days, then both drives failed. I tried running some diagnostics and NAS tools on the drives, but nothing worked.Unfortunately, I am away at work for long periods of time and I missed my return/full refund window for the drives. Luckily, my data is backed up on a separate drive and nothing important was completely lost. The server was unplugged for the duration of my work trips.I would not recommend this drive due to such a high (in my opinion) failure rate in such a short time.

I have smaller Western Digital Caviar Green hard drives and it has been 2-4 years so far without any problems.I have read reviews in the past that people tried to RAID these.

System - Win 8 Pro x64, GPT partition, SATA_2 port, H77 chipsetWith all the, um, *stuff* you currently have lying around that needs a lot of space, look no further. WD's Green drives are the best at bulk storage. They sip power and can hold a stack of *stuff*. Don't bother using them as a boot drive, because they are substantially slow - loading files can take an additional 4-5 seconds occasionally as the drives wake up and access times are rather crap - you'd want an SSD at the very least in 2012 for a boot drive. As a secondary drive, they certainly fit the bill. The biggest problem is that 3TB is simply not enough anymore, and Hitachi's 4TB HDD's are overpriced. Come on, WD, bring out the 6TB 3.5" slabs.Oh, also if you are running XP, get a modern OS that wasn't built back when VHS's were popular, 3TB is not natively supported without clunky workarounds.

If anyone is having problems with this drive, and has been reading these reviews, he is no doubt aware of the problem with the 4KB blocks when using this with XP, and the two possible solutions of using jumpers or running an alignment tool. (If not, check out many 1 star reviews, many either describe the problem or else post links to discussions of the problem.)I went to WD's site to try to apply these problems, but found it rather tricky to track down details, so for the benefit of those doing the same:1. The jumpers need to go between pins 7 and 8. It is harder to find out than you would expect.2. As I wrote as a comment to another post, there is one problem trying to download the alignment tool:One thing to beware, the alignment tool is "Restricted download" on the WD site. It requires you to register your drive. Sounds like an annoyance? But no big deal? Well, one problem. My seller was selling a drive pulled from an external USB drive, so I did not qualify for the download based on my serial number, since it was not an internal drive. I found the tools later by searching for AcronisAlignTool, but it is worth noting that some of these drives may not have started life as internal drives and so wd support may or may not be available.Hope this helps users.As I had problems, I can't give it a 5 star review. On the other hand, that problem was, in aprt, because I bought an incompatible, or partly-compatible tools (and one that a less than scrupulous seller had ripped out of an external USB drive), so I am giving the drive 4 stars, so as not to drag down the review based on my own mistake and the bad behavior of a seller. I do dock it one star for not making clear the problem with the larger blocks (even on the WD site this is pretty deeply buried) and not printing a pin-out for the jumpers on the drive as was common practice for many companies (and even wd in the past). Such a pin diagram would have helped me realize block size was an issue much earlier and saved me much wasted time.

Today, it's only $120, making it kinda hard not to buy a second one! I just finished building my latest computer, and I'm using this drive for media storage, streaming to my Roku. It's perfectly adequate for that function although, at this speed, you probably don't want to be performing a lot of read and write functions at the same time. Due to its speed (or lack thereof,) I would not recommend this as a boot drive. (My boot drive is solid-state, only 128 GB, and screamingly fast by comparison.)I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate (it's 64-bit), and that OS has no problem identifying this drive.Google "format new hard drive windows 7" - the first article in the list is pretty straightforward. Hope it's helpful.Great packaging and fast shipping on a solid product. I'm happy with my purchase.

I bought the 3TB version to replace the 1TB disk in my Apple Time Capsule. Installation and setup was a snap and it has been operating perfectly for about a month. It's very quiet, even though I wasn't particularly concerned noise since it resides in a closet. I was however concerned about the heat of operation since the Time Capsule is such a small casing. It runs as cool or cooler than the original drive even under heavy load.I can't really comment on the read/write speed of the drive because with my wireless backup arrangement the speed of the wireless connection is the limiting factor, not the hard drive. For that very reason, the WD Green drives seem like an ideal solution for a backup drive.

I originally was going to get this elsewhere but when I read on one of the deal sites that Amazon was matching the price I came here. Better packing. The other place just sticks the OEM drive in a box with some peanuts whereas Amazon double boxed the unit with air bag protection.The unit is a duplicate of another 2TB drive and I use them for all my media. I have a 1TB drive from WD Green that is over a year and works fine every time so i expect the same from this one. The drive is quiet and responsive so I'm happy. In a few months I plan on putting my C drive on a SSD for speed and keeping the 3 large drives for the rest. Amazon has been steadily dropping the prices so by Black Friday I hope to see a 240GB SSD for about $100. I'm glad that this company has been getting serious about computer hardware with some highly competitive pricing coupled with free shipping and top notch service.

I purchased this drive for uber archiving and it is perfect. Prior to the WD 3TB drive, I was running 7.5 TB of space encompassing 6 drives loaded with media and docs, as well as my system files, of course. That is a lot of room and I am using a bunch of it, but it didn't allow for a centralized backup scheme. Enter a 3 TB drive. I am able to archive all data, as well as images of my primary drive. I don't know and am not concerned with the transfer and seek times, so didn't even get into that when shopping. My main concerns were capacity, reliability, and price. 3 TB addresses the first concern and my excellent history with WD, the second. Add in Amazon's great price and I was on it. I would recommend this drive to anyone seeking massive storage at a great price. Oh yeah, and now at 10.5 TB, well lets just say it's like closet space....doesn't matter how much you have, you'll find a way to fill it.

Ok so I took, about 4 hours to install this, because basically my old Asus P6T Deluxe Motherboard had problems detecting it. It kept being detected as a RAID item (in BIOS), and I couldn't change it, no matter what. So then I switched the cable input, and then it suddenly appeared. The board appears to have some RAID specific connections that I didn't know about. Then in Windows, it wouldn't let me initialize the disk. After several hours of online searching, changing the BIOS storage type option to "AHCI" did the trick. (If you previously installed Windows 7 with the IDE storage type option in BIOS, then you have to do a registry trick before changing it to ACHI in the BIOS so it won't BSOD once you save the setting and restart to the OS). I finally could access and initialize the disk, the storage amount appears correctly. I'm going to be using this HDD to store my video projects, so I'll update if stuff occurrs. So far, despite the initial installation troubles, everything is looking dandy.

To date the unit has worked as specified.

I loved it and already going to need a newer one in the future yet the only problem with it that is slower than others although my PC is very good gaming PC for even Battle Field, if you went AFK and came back to play a video you will have to wait from 3-7 secs because it will load etc then play... not nice at all..maybe it is the size or not enough RPM to get rid of this problem

Pretty good so far. Make sure you partition the hard drive as GPT and not MBR. SInce MBR has limitations up to 2tb and does not recognize the whole 3tb drive.

I've had two of these in my home server running 24/7 for the past year or so. No problems, except for the well known head parking phenomenon. But it still works, and SMART says it's a-ok. I'm happy.

The price is great, and the seek times are nice. I got the Caviar Green because it had less power draw than some of the others out there. There is nothing like having virtually unlimited storage. I dont delete anything, and there is always room for more. Save the hassle and dont get a smaller hard drive.

I already use Time Capsule, but I wanted another backup—a belt-and-suspenders approach—for my primary 1TB boot drive. So far, using SuperDuper, this drive is exactly what I needed and is working flawlessly.

Haven't used yet, but looks good, I've had good luck with Western Digital hard drives. This seems foolish to me to have write more than necessary for review.

So I've only actually used this 1 time. I bought 2 for my raid 1 external hard drive.Amazon had them on sale for 89.99 couldn't pass that up. Both seem to work just fine. Price was fantastic. Setup was simple. if I remember correctly there is only 1.9TB of usable space. 100-150GB are inaccessible, which was more inaccessible space than I was expecting, but standard on HDD's.
