5 out of 5 stars WD 1 TB Cavier Green   March 14, 2010
Patrick Mundy
I've had the WD 1 TB Caviar Green for several months now. It was easy to set up on my new computer build and has worked flawlessly. It may not be as fast as a Caviar Black but it is more than adequate for storage and serving up videos and music. It is also more energy efficient but at a slight performance hit. I have more than average computer experience, this being my 4th computer build over the years plus working with computers on my day job. Previously, I had purchased another one of these drives for my son and he likes it.


1 out of 5 stars RMA'd it Within 30 Days   March 10, 2010

I ordered this drive mid January 2010 and by mid February 2010 I RMA'd it. Windows Vista would not boot and when I ran Check Disk there were all kinds of errors. It did work for a few weeks, but the whole computer ran slow. I used a program from Western Digital's website to make an identical copy of my old hard drive, so I think that had something to do with it, but it could have been the packaging. The packaging was simply bubble wrap on the hard drive as opposed to the replacement that Western Digital sent me was in molded plastic designed to fit the hard drive.

What I learned from the whole experience: if your drive goes bad, send it back to Amazon if possible because Western Digital made me pay for shipping!!

So I guess I'm rating the RMA process from Western Digital and it gets 1 star because I had to pay to ship a broken product back to them.

I ended up buying a 750GB Caviar Green in the meantime and it works fine. Did a fresh install of 7 instead of Vista. 7 is noticeably faster.



5 out of 5 stars Efficient, super quiet drive   March 10, 2010
Kevin R. Eisenhauer (Omaha, NE)
This drive performs exactly as promised - VERY quiet and efficient. I am using this as a backup drive in a Mac Pro and it performs flawlessly. Great product! Only thing I would suggest is a little more packaging material in the box to protect the drive in shipping. Mine was fine and they are designed to take some shock, but maybe bubble wrap on all sides of the drive would have been better...


5 out of 5 stars 3x Drives in MediaSmart Server   March 8, 2010
L. A. Wilson (Northwest Pennsylvania, USA)
I purchased three of these drives for placement in my HP EX495 1.5TB Mediasmart Home Server ( Black) a little over a month ago. So far they are running just great. These drives are very quiet. I have the server in my basement and when I am downstairs working, I cannot even tell the server is running except for the lights on the front of it. The Caviar Green drives run 10 to 15 degrees cooler than the Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1.5 TB SATA 32 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Hard Drive ST31500341AS that came with the unit, even when backing up data. They idle at about 80 degrees and max out at 95 degrees. I have seen the Seagate as high as 110 degrees. Yes they are only 5400rpm compared to the Seagate, but for a server that is just backing up the computers in the house and streaming music & video they are more than adequate.
