Just bought an 1TB Green last month for all of my data collections Please allow me to help.My first WD 1 TB green also failed on me a couple of months after I bought it and got back another unit of the same model after RMAing. Are you feeling even more nervous now?  Luckily I had budgeted for two of the drives, because I had feared what would happened if one of them failed, so I hadn't lost anything to that incident. I'm actually pretty pleased with them so far.  This post has been edited by everling: Sep 11 2009, 05:51 PM |

WD more cheaper, if plan to use BT for download long time can try seagate SV35(CCTV use) 24hours on temp below 35"
