I should go out and buy a lottery ticket... my 3rd back-to-back RMAed 1TB WD Green 64mb drive with bad sector Never had any issues with my Samsung/Buffalo and Hitachi drives for the last 2 years!  Ironically, in the last 1 month since I bought the disk, the price has since plunged from $285 to $210-215...  |

emmmm... i doubt it has anything to do with the PSU... the fact that they are "green" drives and consume 4-5w less vs the other drives in my rig makes me think maybe it has something to do with the fact that they are GREEN
 and i have hdds from every other manufacturer including buffalo/samsung, hitachi, seagate and an aging 250gb WD running a-ok |

Good luck with your GREEN coz my GREEN is not so green after all (it's RED with three XXX now!) and I was going to use it as a backup drive to store all my precious photos... so I guess that is now out of the question.

QUOTE(robotizer @ Jul 26 2010, 03:36 AM) may i know wats the difference between HDD of 32mb and 64mb?? WD 64mb is an Advance Format Drive with a 4k sector size. If you plan to use it on Win XP, you need to download a utility from WD to align the drives or it will crawl like a baby like western digital 32mb, and 64mb is it the speed difference??? which is better?  |
