    5.0 out of 5 stars Great drive for storage
    Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2014
    Capacity: 3 TBVerified Purchase
    Looking through some of the previous reviews, it seems that some people don't understand the point of the Green series. It is designed for low-power and to not provide the highest possible speeds. Personally, I would not use these as a primary drive (I have an SSD, but prior, I would use the Black series), but as storage drives, they work great! I still get solid transfer rates, but it is still slower than other Black series drives on the computer (which is to be expected).

    I have always been a Western Digital fan. Their drives have always held up well and typically the only time I replace them is when the size of the current drive is no longer sufficient for my needs. Well, that finally happened with one of my older 1TB drives. It was on my desktop/server and was acting as my "movie" drive for all my ripped dvds and blurays. These would then be streamed to my htpc downstairs. Well, the 1TB wasn't cutting it as bluray rips are substantially bigger than dvd rips, and the drive was about full. At the time I bought this, the 4TB had just come out and the prices were still much higher than I wanted to spend (I've since bought 2x4TB drives to replace other drives).

    Learning the GPT partitioning tools in linux was a bit interesting, but still easy. I partitioned the drive, formatted it as ext4 and then copied all the old movies onto the new drive. Since then, the drive has been working great. There isn't much more that can be said for it.

    I highly recommend this for storage drives, but if you're looking for performance, check out the Black series.

    Required additional drive space and this fit the bill. Installed it to my PC, did a quick NTFS drive format and was up and running in no time flat.

    Very quiet drive! Liked it so much I purchased another for use as an external drive. Both drives working flawless and no issues transferring massive amounts of data to both drives.

    My data is currently utilizing over 50% of the drive space on both drives and have no issues to speak of.

    One drive is housed in a Vantec NexStar external enclosure and works flawless on all my systems via USB. No data errors, speed issues or complaints at this time.

    Highly recommended!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Power Saving HDD Storage
    Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2013
    Capacity: 3 TBVerified Purchase
    I don't know exactly how much power it saves, but I can tell you the spindles do in fact spin down. I use it as a media drive in my desktop computer. When it is reading or writing the drive stays active and performs well enough to not be noticeable. Isn't that the point of a hard drive - to just be there and not be noticed one way or the other? It can play HD videos and music without skipping a beat or buffering.

    I do not have any programs installed to this drive. That is what my WD Black is for. OS and large, frequently used programs are installed on my SSD. Every component has a duty and this drive stores my media and plays my media well. My computer does pause for a second or two when I try to play a file after not accessing the drive for awhile - normally after a gaming session. That's caused by the spindles spinning back up and the HDD retrieving the file. I would relegate this drive to media and maybe 24/7 connected external HDD duties. It does those duties while saving electricity with an acceptable compromise.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Quiet, Efficient, but needs better install instructions
    Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    The first WD drive shipped by Amazon wasn't displayed in Windows with a drive letter, and the second one shipped did the same. Then with research I discovered that I need to use the disk management utility in Windows to initialize, assign a drive letter, and quick format. I don't recall having to do this on other drives I've purchased. I would wish that the WD instructions mentioned this, either in the quick install or online. I had to search to figure it out. OK, OK, maybe I should have known this, BUT they could have made it easier. So far.....one day, drive works fine, and is quiet. I cannot speak to long term reliability at this point. I always purchase WD drives because of my belief that they are more reliable. We shall see.

    I got this and installed it into a 6 year old Dell 8400 running XP SP3. I already had the latest BIOS. This drive was recognized just fine by the BIOS and by XP. It has been running just fine as my primary; quiet and fast. I didn't read the label before putting it in, but can state that SiSoft Sandra, my benchmarking utility, reads it as a 7200 rpm drive with a 32 MB cache. Perhaps the previous reviewer received a mis-labeled drive. Excellent value for the money.

    This 3TB green drive replaced a failed 2TB seagate version that failed after only 3 years or so. It took maybe 40 hours to internally move 1.5TB of data from two 1TB backup drives but all in all went well. do not notice any delays in it being "green" or slower than other drives. Prices are still too high in canada however compared to almost anywhere in the US

    Verified Purchase
    Western Digital's site says retail boxed Green WDBAAY... drives have 3 year warranty. The box I received said 2 years. So, I punched the serial number into Western Digital's site and they report that not only is the drive "out of region" instead of the normal "in limited warranty", but there is barely more than 1 year left on the warranty. I don't want to gamble a warranty hassle on a low-end drive that has a relatively high likelihood to fail.
