it is best to avoid WD 1tb green, 2 of my friend kena so far with that model 1 year ago.
their hdd got issue after about half year of usage, like very slow reading time and sometimes cannot start up at all when the hdd is attached to mobo.
The hdd price is still higher than last year before flood, maybe need to wait more than a half year to stabilize the supply
and the price.

I also had problem with the drive before. It caused system hangs, slow transfer etc.... and after some Googling I found out that it had something to do with the head parking. But if we use it for external storage (with HDD enclosure), there wont be any such problem. I'm now using it with Vantec HDD enclosure without any issue for more than a year already. So, before anybody thinking of throwing the drive away you guys might reconsider my method
