2 years and 1 month since purchase and the drive has just failed with bad sectors. Not impressed.

Have 4 of these 4GB drives in a NAS box for storing BD Movies. They have been 100% reliable over many months. The temp's are good and have never gone over 40C in heavy loading. Idle in the 20's.

This drive stores and loads all of my applications and games. I see a lot of people talk about game load times on SSD's, but the performance of this drive is such that I've never thought about putting all my games on a SSD to squeeze out a half second faster load times.

I have bad luck with WD drives. These are supposed to be quiet drives so I gave it a try, but the vibration is high enough to shake the whole case. It'd be fine for office use, but not for a quiet PC.

Large capacity; inexpensive; works well enough

Vibration and noise

Pros: An excellent drive to use in a NAS, as a secondary storage unit or as a backup unit due to its large storage capacity and energy saving features. It is very quiet and energy efficient. This is also a budget friendly hard drive.

I have 4 of these configured in a RAID 5. Going on a month and they are plugging away just as expected. The green series from WD definitely saves on power which is great in terms of heat and money.

Easy purchase, fast delivery, well packaged, great item - what more could anyone want?! Great drives for my new Synology DS414 NAS

This product lasted 3 months before conking out on me I attempted to get a return merchandise authorization (RMA) and found out that the product warranty is void. According to Western digital's website, the product with this serial number should have been inside a MyBook.

This drive has lots of storage and so far has worked flawlessly. Since it is only a 5400 rpm drive it would be quite slow a a main hard drive but is awesome for mass storage. I hope to purchase one more to help with backups.

For the cost of this drive, having that much space available for use is a plus. Because of the nature of the drive, some might be intimidated with it, unless they have a geek friend. In this I mean, the drive comes unformatted, and un-partitioned.
