The drive was installed in a PC running Windows 7 beta, then Windows 7 full version. The PC was used as a media computer, playing movies and TV shows through Windows Media Center, and Apple TV. As stated in the title of this review, the drive failed within 9 months. The good news is the drive failure warning kicked in and allowed me to move the data to another drive. This will be my last Western Digital purchase. I've had nothing but problems over the years with their drives. The low price of this drive prompted me to give WD another chance. Never again. My future HD purchases will be Seagate.

This is a very fine disk drive from the highest quality drive maker. I bought 2 to hold my ever-growing load of photos and videos which had filled up a pair of 500 GB drives. The WD20EADS has huge capacity, it's quiet, it runs cool (so it should last longer) and most surprising, it's faster than my 500 GB drive. With the new drive, the time it takes to convert RAW photos to JPG format dropped by 12%. This is probably due to the large 32MB cache.Some things to watch out for:The great price on Amazon is partly because the drive is in OEM packaging, which means all you get is the drive - no cables, no instructions, no installation CD. Many vendors sell drives this way, this isn't anything unusual. If you have installed OEM drives before, then you know the routine and it's not a problem. If you need the instructions or installation software, you can download it from the Western Digital support site.If you are wanting to install this drive in an older motherboard - beware! It didn't work in my Gigabyte GA-7NNXP running F15 BIOS (latest) and Silicon Image firmware 4.2.00 (which is only 84 revs out of date and not upgradable). The BIOS hung during initialization of the Silicon Image SATA controller and there doesn't seem to be any workaround or update possible. On the other hand, it worked fine in my wife's Elite Group KT-600A motherboard, which is slightly older and less sophisticated than the Gigabyte board. The Gigabyte board was running 500 GB drives on the SATA ports without a problem, and there are no general size limitations between 500 GB and 2 TB. It appears that the BIOS is just buggy. The Western Digital support site has a list of tested compatible SATA controllers, so if your board is on that list you should be good to go. If your board isn't on the list, you might want to search the net for information on your particular board before you buy.

I have three of these drives and they were all easy to install and are performing well. One is in the Windows Home Server as part of my storage pool, and the other two are in USB external enclosures. I rotate the two drives, keeping one at home and one off site and I use them to back up my shared folders and now my WHS database using a third party plug-in.The drives installed in about 5 minutes. It always takes me another five minutes to remember that I have to partition the drive so that the Windows Home Server will recognize it. In Windows Server 2003, you do that by doing the following:Run remote desktop to connect to the WHS. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Computer Management. In the console tree, click Disk Management. From there you can select the disk and partition it. Then WHS will recognize it as a new drive.This sounds harder than it is, just remember the drives are bare when you get them.I'm sure in a five years I'll be amazed to find this review and think that I paid $199 for a 2tb drive, but today it feels like a good price and is giving me great piece of mind as I've been able to back up all my machines every day with the Windows Home Server.

I was forced to get a second drive when the disk on my 1 year old PC is 90% full. Shooting 15M pixel digital photos in RAW format takes up lots of disk space. I need a single large drive to hold all photos for the next few years.This is the consumer version that includes a SATA cable. The OEM version Western Digital Caviar Green 2 TB Bulk/OEM Hard Drive 3.5 Inch, 32 MB Cache, 7200 RPM SATA II WD20EADS is only a bare drive. Unless you need handholding, the OEM version may be a better buy. The only reason I got this one was that it was on sale at Best Buy for the still expensive early adaptor price of $[...]. Unless you have an immediate need, wait a few month for the price to drop.The drive mounts easily with the included screws. Due to the non-standard sideway disk cage of my Gateway PC, I have to cut off the useless stub on the cable in order to close the cover. Although my Vista PC refused to install the software from the included CD, Vista's tool works just as well. Formatting such a huge drive is an overnight operation. Copying files from the old drive takes another few hours. After nearly 2 months of use, the disk worked flawlessly and quietly. It is fast enough as a second data only drive. As for the claim of low power, I have no way of measuring it.As I wrote earlier, the consumer version includes the SATA cable with the funny stub, 4 screws, a software CD that cannot be installed on Vista, and some instructions that you can download from Western Digital. Whether you should spend the extra dollars over the OEM version is up to you.This drive deserves a 5-star rating, except for its high initial price. If you have room in your PC, getting 2 Western Digital Caviar Green 1 TB Bulk/OEM Hard Drive 3.5 Inch, 32 MB Cache, 7200 RPM SATA II WD10EADS is cost saving alternative.

I bought this to replace an old WD Green 500GB drive, used strictly for Acronis backup images. It's housed in an Antec MX-1 external SATA enclosure and works great. I took it out of the package, installed it into the MX-1, had Windows 7 initialize it, create a single partition(1.8TB available with default block size on NTFS) and format it. I then changed the storage location on my Acronis tasks and that's it! No problem whatsoever! Runs nice and quiet an cool. Especially in the fan driven MX-1 enclosure.I'm pretty darn impressed with it's performance as well. For being a 5400RPM drive, it's pretty peppy. I haven't yet run a synthetic benchmark(i.e. HD Tune), but I did some test copies to and from this drive and in comparison to a WD Black 1tb I also have in an external enclosure, I really don't notice any difference. I'm sure there would be a difference for someone doing heavy video editing, but for backup and typical use, it's performance is more than acceptable.Highly Recommended!

The drive was good until after 6 months when I was checking the drive using Disk Utilities using my Mac. It was failing the S.M.A.R.T. status. This could lead to a crash of the drive. Good thing it was still running and am able to backup all my files. The drive has a 3 year warranty fortunately.WD replaced the drive of the same type by mail thru their replacement program. It looks like the warranty only lasts 1 year since the manufacture date, and I only got 6 months to go. I'll recheck with WD. I think they should match the warranty time of my original drive which was 3 years.

Great drives... if they work. I just recieved them and haven't even tried them yet, but I'm so angry about the way they were packaged I just had to say something while I'm still willing to bother to post this review. I will update it they work or if they need to go back.Just save yourself the headache if you need drives and get them from [...]Each drive was in a loose single wrap of bubble wrap and a single air cushion. Neither was enough to keep them from flopping around loosely within the smaller box. Then each of those boxes were loosely packaged within a larger box with a couple of air cushions... two of which were popped by the time they made it me. Anyway, they were free to flop around in their own boxes and those boxes were free to flop around inside a larger shipping box.Great drives... just don't get them from Amazon.

I'll be honest and say that I spent 30 hours considering the pros and cons of getting this 2TB WD Green drive versus a Seagate 1.5TB (with reports of firmware failures) or paying way more for a 2TB WD RE4 Enterprise class, which is unavailable at Amazon as far as I know.So far the facts: Compared to my 4 other 500GB WD Caviar Black drives, its temperature, even after copying 1.5TB of data to it is 10-15 degrees cooler than the other drives in idle state. Despite having a variable speed - that is not quite 5400rpm and not quite 7200rpm, I have enjoyed 85.91MB/s write rates and 88.55MB/s reads. This was a OSX/Finder test to and from a RAM Disk with 2000MB/s capacity.Also great to know: This drive is very quiet and I am glad that it will not add noise when I am recording vocals or quiet instruments in compositions.I am entrusting my data to this drive for the next few years, so even though there are cheaper 1.5TB solutions out there, there have been reports of failing drives in comparison to this. Also, I saved $45 buying from Amazon, including 1 day shipping, in comparison to Fry's Electronics.Note: Capacity when formatted with Mac OSX HFS+ Extended (Journaled) is 1.8TB. This is to be expected from the disparity of how all hard disk manufacturers promote their drives and how operating systems actually address them.

Drive works like a charm, I won't need another one for 5 years I'll bet! I didn't have any trouble installing, BIOS found it, Vista liked it too. I don't notice any additional noise from my case, and it's a fairly low noise system. Not much else to say, it's a HDD.

A lot of reviews here are complaining about DOA units due to poor packaging. I just got this drive yesterday and the packaging was perfectly adequate. It came in a standard OEM hard drive shipping package. It's sparse packaging but it was certainly enough to keep the drive safe.I don't know if Amazon improved their packaging, or people think they should pack the box with padding, but the drive I got yesterday was just fine. My Drobo is syncing it as I type this.

The drive is great and worked as expected. My issue was that I did not understand that OEM meant no screws other mounting equipment. With the money I've spent on connectors, screws, and shipping, I would have gone with a more expensive drive that came with all the materials I needed to install it.

I purchased this drive to replace an existing drive in an iMac that had failed due to temperature problems. The back of the computer always ran hot. With the new WD 2 TB drive, the back of the unit is very cool to the touch, is very quiet - and holds twice as much information.

I know this is labeled as having no-frill packaging...but I almost had a heart attack when I opened the tiny box and saw only an invoice and small piece of blister pack inside. This box was probably whacked on the floor all through shipping with the drive ping-ponging around in the box...I'm amazed the drive even powered up, but I returned it out of fear of future failure.The HD itself is fine, but Amazon gets negative 3 stars for the horrible packaging. Geez!

Many people are turned off by products marketed as 'Green'.But I found this drive to be a good performer and reliable in my Mac Pro. (Installation took 30 seconds. It just slides in, with no wired connectors.)Made in Thailand, NOT Communist China!

Like others I found the packaging to be rather uninspired for protecting the hard drive. Bubble wrap around the drive and some air pillows inside (not all inflated or maybe some deflated).But the drive appears to be fine so I guess it's all good. Plugged it into my Drobo unit, didn't have to deal with any jumpers, just slid it right in and it took maybe two days to redistribute my data but now it's running well. It replaced a 750GB Seagate so we'll see how it will be in the long run.

It needed a jumper to disable the new large data block size since I'm using it in a Windows home server application. It seems the large blocks are for future compatibility. Other than that it's quiet and holds a huge amount of data. It's been in about a month with no problems.

As the title of my review said, this drive stopped working after a month of use. I lost all data, 600GB of them (all my pics, movie....).This is the first problem I've experienced with WD drive. I have been waiting for three weeks already for my replacement drive from WD and the status is still DELAYED. I don't know why this is taking so long for WD to ship one out. If you decide to buy this drive, make sure you have a second backup of your data. This drive seems to be quite unreliable.

Even i selecting it as gift, with no gift-wrap, to receive my purchase in retail box, Amazon send it to me as OEM, using "Amazon Frustation-Free Packaging".The HD is great, five stars definitively. But i'm afraid it will fail soon, because the Amazon needs learn to package electronic devices, include labels warning :Beware, electronic device, please handle with care.Brasilian portuguese : Cuidado, dispositivo eletronico, por favor manuseie com cuidado.Spanish : Cuidado, dispositivos electr?nicos, por favor, manejar con cuidado.

Order placed on february 10, 2010. Order came from Lexington KY US. Faulty Packaging allowing had drive to hit bottom of box, no bubble rap, no protective padding, dead upon arrival. Published photos on customer images. I know this is an OEM drive so it doesn't have a retail box of its own but the amazon frustration-free packaging does not protect the hard drive from any impact.

I have 12 WD OEM drives acquired over the last 6 months for my MacPro . I love them. I have Western Digital drives in each of the 4 hard drive bays. For the boot drive I use the Black for maximum performance (7200RPM) while the others are Green Drives with variable speed (5400-7200RPM) for efficient power use. They run cool and are very quiet. A very small downside is they take a little extra time to "spin up".For "general" and "off-site" back ups I use the OEM drives and NewerTech quad-interface SATA HDD dock. I store these drives in a static-proof box by Wiebetech (10-pack for $55.00), which provides protection for the exposed circuits and connectors.I highly recommend these drives! Only one came DOA and it was replaced by Amazon within a week. I've been buying each time there's a dip in price. (279.00, 229.00, 219.00 and 209.00)

I used this hard drive as an external HD DVR hard drive vs the 1 TB version I had used previously. Everything worked as hoped and the procedure can be found on my blog linked from this review. Note this HD does have some jumper settings, but did not come with the actual jumpers to use. Fortunately, they were not required for my application.

Purchased two drives and they both failed within 90 days (in two different computers). The good news is that the smart drive feature warned of the failure. Got an RMA and returned to WD for replacement...replacement was authorized.... and a month later WD continues to report that the drives are "out of stock". They have plenty to sell to Amazon, but none for warranty replacement.

Should probably do a video review for this, since the packaging has to be seen to be believed. Drives are working fine so far (I bought 2), but they arrived as two small boxes in a very large shipping box, with very little protection. Inside each of the small boxes was the drive, wrapped in a bubble wrap bag with a couple of those Amazon-y air-filled plastic bags as protection. Not nearly enough to keep them from jostling around during transit. I know these are OEM/Bulk/Bare or whatever you want to call them, but I've never received a drive that wasn't hermetically wrapped in foam for shipment. Very good thing that Amazon has a good return policy.

These drives are great for the storage and performance they have. You can't find anything denser in terms of storage!But...I think they still have to work out some kinks.

Western Digital's 2TB drive is great but don't buy it from amazon. I'm on my second return because they keep trying to sneak in some cheapo 1TB drive instead of my order. Newegg never messes up like this. Double check your drive before you unwrap it or else.

Bought this for an 8 core Mac Pro, primarily for temporary storage and backup of video that had come off of P2 cards.I was surprised at the performance of this drive, since it's a green drive, but the benchmark numbers I got back in AJA System test were nearly the same as my other 32mb Caviar Black 1tb drives!It was something like 97MB/s read and 95MB/s write for this new 2TB monster, compared to the 100MB/s read and write for the high performance caviar blacks I have.

For you Drobo fans this drive will not fail you. I waited until I could purchase four (4) of them collectively and plugged them into my #1 Drobo off my DroboShare. Quiet and cool, these drives came to life immediately and Drobo formatted them quickly. It should be noted, for us Drobo addicts, which out of 8TB you have 2.23GB reserved for overhead, 1.83TB for protection and 5.44TB available for data on a single volume. I have been migrating my external storage data without issues and am working on getting my 2nd Drobo populated.
