I purchased this HD to replace a 1TB Hitachi in an external drive case because I needed more back-up space for Time Machine on my Mac. It works just fine, but the one thing I noticed (or didn't notice) immediately is just how much less noise the drive makes than the Hitachi which was always buzzing and clicking ect. The WD is silent and the only reason I know it is on is from the blue light on the drive case. So far...so good.

These drives generally give good value for the money, but I've encountered a couple of issues:(1) When the drive is formatted, the controller should identify bad sectors and mark them as unusable, but it seems as though this doesn't happen. (I can verify that a drive has some bad sectors because attempting to clone to it generates errors, but formatting says that the drive has full capacity, implying that there are no bad sectors).(2) It would appear that Western Digital has disabled the S.M.A.R.T. technology, which is supposed to warn one when a drive is starting to fail. (Failures of these drives occur with zero warning). I suspect that hard drive integrators like Western Digital are disabling S.M.A.R.T. because they want as few warranty returns as possible, but they are doing a tremendous disservice to the end user.

90 days in, still no failures.------In seeking disks for my NAS, I recently bought 8 of these from Amazon.I don't know much about hard disks, though I hear from "those in the know" several opinion about what's good and what's not.After reading several reviews about how WD Caviar Green drives were not that great, I bought them anyway.All I can say is of these 8 disks is.... - No DOAs, all working fine. - Quiet, and not so hot that NAS fan kicks in - zero failures - zero corrupted blocks - Handled constant writing and re-writing for 7 days straight as the nas configured and re-configured the disks for dual failover and several terabytes worth of copying.Final conclusionSo far, so good.

TB to dollar ratio, this is an awesome deal. With that said, I would not use it as a primary drive for OS or crucial data storage, NAS/home server. Because it wasn't designed for that as the description stated.For OS drive, SSD is the way to go. For crucial data storage and NAS/home sever, either Caviar Black or Western Digital 2 TB RE4 - WD2003FYYS. Those two drives cost significantly more the this one, but they are in a different class. It all comes down to how much you value your data and time.I've been using the previous generation of the Caviar Green as a backup drive since Sept-2009, still got all green light from recent SMART scan (knocks on wood). Mechanical hard drive will fail eventually, scan your drive with a SMART monitor periodically. Stay away from fan less external hard drive and hard drive enclosure; heat shortens the lifespan significantly.

I installed this drive in a Synology DS-212J. The drive took a loooong time to format, but since then it has run cool and just seems to work - exactly what you want from a HDD. I will update this in six months, or earlier if there are any problems.

I've been using WD drives for years, usually using the Caviar Black series. (I have a 1TB Black in my system) I needed a extra drive for my eSata dock. So I caught this 2TB Green on sale (The prices are still high due to the floods, but are coming down slightly)It is cool, and runs smooth. 2TB is what I needed for external use with the docking station.Shipping was very fast (even though I am a Prime member). Got it the next day after I ordered it. What a pleasant surprise!I will continue to use WD because I had issues with Seagate (Maxtor) and Hitachi. Western Digital makes quality hard drives (even though the floods hit them the hardest, and the price for this drive was way cheaper pre-flood. But what can you do....

Man, 2Tb on a single hard drive? I'm so old that I remember 20 MEGAbytes being a big deal. I decided to take an old PC sitting around the house and turn it into a backup server running Windows Home Server 2011. The PC had an existing 160Gb drive in it, which would not be enough storage space. After searching around at other vendors (NewEgg, et. al.) and local vendors, the price of this drive at Amazon is just slightly more expensive, but we have a Prime membership and the overnight shipping for $3.99 was too much to pass up. Instant gratifaction FTW!The drive arrived packaged extremely well and well-protected against shock during transit. I opened the package, installed the drive in the computer, connected power and SATA, and fired up the PC. The drive was immediately recognized and we were off to the races.I installed WHS 2011 with no problems, set this monster drive as my backup drive and it has performed flawlessley.Well worth the money.

I use 5 of these 2TB WD drives mixed with the WD green drives in a QNAP TS-419P II NAS server. I have 5 of them and use the same drives for my local backups on my DroboS. I've only had one drive go bad in years of running them. WD stood by their product and shipped me a new drive to replace the old drive. I always register my drive purchases with WD and they backup the products. Definately recommend.

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.

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.

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.

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?!

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.

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've had these drives running for about a month in a RAID 5 array with a RocketRaid adapter running Windows 2008 R2. Other than the long initialization, I've had no trouble with the drives or the performance. For big network file storage, this configuration is pretty much ideal. If high speed performance is what you're after, look elsewhere, like SSD's or a hybrid. They are very quiet and run cool.

A very short review:This drive is a good choice for upgrading or replacing your Tivo drive. I've also used the WD20EARS, which is the older version. This HD offers no advantage over the older drive for use in a Tivo.Use JMFS to transfer the data from your old Tivo drive. I used the Expand/Supersize options and I have over 300 hours of HD capacity. Also, remember to turn off the idle timeout (using wdidle3) or set it to 300 seconds, and you'll have no problem. Yes, it does work great in a Tivo.Highly recommended.

Well I got to say haven't had one of my 7 drives - all WD20EARX 2 TB drives - fail me yet. With my current movie count around 3600 if one were to go it would put a dent in my collection. They run quiet and don't put a strain on the power supply. When you have 7 media disks and one os disk all pumping out heat - it must be the green drives that keep the temp down. Yep, plan on more of these, might have to step up to a 3TB unit next time.
