            Comments about Western Digital 1.5TB Caviar Green SATA Internal Hard Drive:

            Not much to say - it hasn't crashed. None of the 1 TB green drives I use have crashed yet either, and they've got more miles on them than the 1.5 TB ones I just bought.

            I had a 2 1/2" external drive die, though, so I'm a little nervous about giving WD a perfect score....

              Bought as an upgrade to my 250gb HDD.
              Needed more drive space and this upgrade was a lot cheaper than a new PC.

                      I bought four 1.5T caviar green SATA drives for the Drobo that I ordered at the same time. Installation was a snap and I've got buet-proof back-up.

                        I am using this new drive to provide more storage on a three year old XP system with space for only one hard drive. Could have installed quicker if I had gotten power and data cables to temporarily connect the old drive while transferring operating system and files. Works great.
