I run a homebrewed NAS (network-attached storage) setup with open-source software and needed to find
Low power/heat; great performance (faster than Gigbit Ethernet); 3 year warranty
Somewhat more expensive than other 3TB hard drives
I never would have imagined these drives would not arrive in working condition. I've always had good luck with WD drives. These came making a loud clicking noise and couldn't be recognized for formatting.
Purchased 8 drives for two Sagate Black Armor NAS 400. One drive failed immediately and I sent it for replacement. Within a week, second died (just trying to spin on for few seconds after restart and that's it). Tryed to hook it up to three different system just to run S.M.A.R.T.

It's an interesting decision - WD is expanding their low-power 3.5" hard drive offerings with a second line at the same time Seagate exists the "green" market, claiming low-power drives aren't really all that beneficial or quite frankly, special.
Best in class power consumption; Strongest sequential read and write performance; Suited perfectly for SOHO NAS environments
Best in class power consumption; Strongest sequential read and write performance; Suited perfectly for SOHO NAS environments; Weaker random I/O performance seen in our mixed workloads
