1 out of 5 eggs using for USB? Avoid these like The Plague! 12/30/2009

This review is from: Western Digital WD Green WD15EADS 1.5TB 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros:

using for USB? Avoid these like The Plague! Pros? none that outweigh the problem these drives have and add to that the lack of western digital's customer service

Cons:

avoid the western drigital 1.5 tb drives wd15eads as they do NOT work with external usb enclosures...same as noted by others. Official Rosewill finding is that WD knows these drives are defective when used with USB and are doing a new firmware for them but of course WD wont help you trust me I asked. Newegg took them back as defective (thank you for great customer service newegg!!!!) and I ordered new drives... be a cold day somewhere before I buy another western digital hard drive.
