Western Digital Green 2TB SATA3 6GB/S Intellipower 64MB Cache 3.5in Internal Hard Drive HDD
Cons:Once going to power saver mode, takes several seconds to get it running again
Pros:Quiet, power saving Comment:
Good HDD. I own it for almost a year and a half now and it still works like new.Since I use it as a secondary storage, it often shuts down and may require some time to restart again. It is understandable, but still a hassle if I only want to access small files quickly. |

Western Digital Green 2TB SATA3 6GB/S Intellipower 64MB Cache 3.5in Internal Hard Drive HDD
Cons:None so far
Pros:2TB have gone down in price lots. You will most likely see them on sale quite a bit, so if you can wait, at least for free shipping. Do so! Runs great, not too expensive as 3TB, and around the same price for 1TB. Comment:
A great Hard drive with good speed. Recording gameplay is not an issue with Seagate. |

Western Digital Green 2TB SATA3 6GB/S Intellipower 64MB Cache 3.5in Internal Hard Drive HDD
Cons:- none
Pros:- decent read/write speeds for media Comment:
I've bought a EARX Green drive in the past, and it's still in my system to this day. This new EZRX drive performs as good, if not better than the older model.Would definitely buy a WD drive again. |

Western Digital Green 2TB SATA3 6GB/S Intellipower 64MB Cache 3.5in Internal Hard Drive HDD
Cons:runs more slowly than most drives, but it is a green drive and i knew that going into the purchase (storage/backup drive)more expensive than i remember, but that goes for harddrives overall
Pros:uses less power and runs cooler and quieter than most other drives as it is a "green" drivespacious Comment:
this drive is better than its previous iterations (EARS, EARX). performance is better overall-quicker up and down reads and writes and seems to be as solid as always has been. it is a green drive so it is meant for storage and movies and music, etc and does the job just fine. like many others day, it's not the best idea to load an OS or programs here...the faster blues, blacks and SSDs are better suited for those purposes. |

Western Digital Green 2TB SATA3 6GB/S Intellipower 64MB Cache 3.5in Internal Hard Drive HDD
Cons:Not so much if you want to use it as an OS, wish they still had a 3 year warranty instead.
Pros:Great for backing up more data, energy efficient Comment:
As others have stated, this hard drive is great for anyone who stores a lot of data and wants more internal storage while maintaining low energy consumption. As long as you use it for all its intents and purposes, everything should be fine. |

Western Digital Green 2TB SATA3 6GB/S Intellipower 64MB Cache 3.5in Internal Hard Drive HDD
Cons:None so far.....
Pros:WD, quiet, reasonably fast, reasonably priced, WD. Comment:
Needed some more storage, to free up a couple of smaller drives for another machine, and so far I've been pleased with this drive.Good points:- Quiet- Reasonably fast, for a green drive, i.e. almost as fast as a couple of other 7200rpm drives we use for storing media.- WD quality- Price was ok, with a pricematchAs usual, with any drive, one of the main things to look for is longevity, and buying this drive was based on the reliability of other WD drives we've bought in recent years, so hopefully this one lasts as long as the others have. |

Western Digital Green 2TB SATA3 6GB/S Intellipower 64MB Cache 3.5in Internal Hard Drive HDD
Cons:A little slow, but it's for a nas.
Pros:Quiet and cool Comment:
This drive has been installed in a small NAS for a couple weeks now and has worked perfectly. It spins down to save power when you are not using it, so there is a couple second delay when you access it the first time after sleep. I use it to stream media to my tv so this is not a problem. |

Get what you pay for, but in a good way still.Compared to the WD Caviar Black, this one is a lot quieter.I use it as a backup where speed isn't required as much as other applications like gaming. |

Cons:A little slower than my previous drive
Pros:Super quiet Comment:
I pair this with a SSD for OS and such, using the WD for secondary storage. It is super quiet. Have only had it for a less than a week so can't comment on reliability, but I'm totally happy with this drive. I move a lot of files around and it does the job. Plus the price is right. |
