As hard drive capacities increase, the power required to run those drives increases as well. WD Caviar Green drives make it possible for energy-conscious customers to build systems with higher capacities and the right balance of system performance, ensured reliability, and energy conservation.

Superb

Bought 16 of those so far (sadly not from Dabs as they did not have them in stock): extremely cool disks (as in they don't heat up), very light and work like charm. This is a good alternative to more expensive 2 TB WD disk, which has no alternative now if you need to pack up maximum disk space into single server. Most excellent but watch out for Adaptec RAID controller compability - it appears to be fault of Adaptec rather than WD.

So Far No Problems
Reviewed by Mark. Review Posted 15/03/2010
I was a bit worried reading reviews for hard drives over 1 terrabyte, and immediatly was worried about this drive when I first purchased it.
I am glad to say that no problems have been found with this drive, and I am using it to store my movies and other multimedia.
I intend purchasing more of these drives in the future.
