Comments about Western Digital 1TB Caviar Green Internal Hard Drive:
I purchased three of these to go with my 4-Bay Drobo. Great deal! Was easy to use, and works like a charm. I can't really give it a 5 star because I have no clue there will be issues in the future. As of now, it's great.

Comments about Western Digital 1TB Caviar Green Internal Hard Drive:
BH Photo had a great deal on this drive. Picked up 2 for [...]The drive itself is actuall the 32MB cache version and not the 16MB cache as advertised. The date of Manufacture was 12/09, so this leads me to believe this is not a 4K sector drive. I will update when I install in my NAS. Wish me luck!

Bought this retail kit to upgrade my TiVo HD. This drive is one of the few that is still widely available and it was very easy to install. The upgrade went pretty smoothly and the TiVo now seems to run a bit cooler also.

I bought two of these to put in my Drobo, then I tore apart my WD external hard drives to put in the Drobo and to find out that they use the Green drives for them too.

Comments about Western Digital 1TB Caviar Green Internal Hard Drive:
I have had no problems with this drive. I have been a fan of Western Digital for a long time and they have never let me down.
I have four of these drives installed in two different Drobos, I've only been running them for about a year, so I can't speak to overall life of the drive, but at the price, if one does fail, I have no problem putting in another one.

These drives are great. I use them with a drobo four bay robotic backup system. They install in a jiff. You literally just push them in and the drobo does the rest.

These green drives are environmentally friendly and very functional. I use these drives in our backup solution at work in a drive docking station. They are easy to swap out after each nightly backup and do not generate much heat while in use.

I am using this in my Windows Home Server. You get a lot of storage for the price. I have another one of these in my PC and don't see any performance decrease by using a Green drive.
