1 out of 5 eggsDOA

Pros: Nice paperweight

Cons: DOA. Tested on two different PCs and DVR. Will not initialize on DVR or Windows 7. Failed WD's proprietary software checks, namely the Write Zeros test. WD solution is to "replace drive."

Other Thoughts: Stay away from this garbage based on personal experience and that of other customers.

1 out of 5 eggsToo Many Bad Sectors out of box

Pros: Previous WD hard drive purchases have proven reliable.

Cons: Failed to initialize! My disk arrived with too many bad sectors as per WD Data Lifeguard Diagnosis. Quality assurance missed this one! Previous WD hard drive purchases have proven reliable.

2 out of 5 eggsRMA Bait

Pros: It's 1.5 TB! It's cheap!

Cons: Died after powering up only once. CRC errors - could not format, etc. etc. RMA'd for 2nd day delivery of a new drive from Western Digital.

Other Thoughts: Still a good deal if you're willing to put up with the inconvenience of maybe having to return it directly to the manufacturer for replacement.

Manufacturer Response:

We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced with the WD Green, as this is not the typical experience with the product. It is unfortunate that you have experienced a DOA drive, as all of our drives are rigorously tested to ensure they are in good working condition before leaving our warehouse. There are many variables that could affect the drives integrity between leaving our warehouses prior to being installed in a computer. We recommend installing and running our Data Lifeguard Diagnostics for Windows (WinDLG) utility for Windows users, or running Disk Utility for Mac users. Information regarding our WinDLG utility and Disk utility can be found at the following link.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Hard Drive, Great Price

Pros: Easy to install as all hard drives are, but the hard drive is 7200rpm and actually copies files very quickly a lot quicker than my Hitachi 500gb C: drive, Western digital green caviar is definately a solid drive no need to get a blue or black, Plus i got this on sale for $65 for a 1.5TB great price, great for storing movies and games specially if your a pc gamer, designer.

Cons: nothing so far i love the thing

Other Thoughts: I love the drive

4 out of 5 eggsBought 2, 1 died within minutes

Pros: Large capacity, low price (when on sale). Sata 3
Non DOA drive is quiet. Intend to use for storage but boot from SSD in same PC

Cons: 1 of 2 drives shortly after installation and assigning a drive letter in Windows 7 Control Panel.

Other Thoughts: Wonder if they even burn them in. Bad drive : Repeated clicking, visible in POST, XP and Windows 7 can't see drive anymore. RMA issued.
Will accept refund or replacement since historically have had few problems with WD drives MFM, IDE et al

5 out of 5 eggsArrived And Works

Pros: 1.5TB for $65, power advantages of green without having to settle for 5400RPM. Was enough to back up my entire SSD + HDD with 420GB to spare.

Cons: It would seem that this drive has a higher failure rate than other WD drives (based on other reviews), though see other thoughts about why

Other Thoughts: Due to it being a WD Green, you're doing something seriously wrong if you are planning on using this for anything other than backup purposes. If you are constantly stressing it by running your operating system on it, you are increasing the rate of failure. Data recovery on these drives is extremely expensive. If you're looking for a primary HDD, go blue or black, not green. As a local backup or NAS drive, it does it job spectacularly: it is quiet and won't demand much power, and if you get unlucky and got a faulty drive, you can RMA for another and your primary data is preserved.
