Comments about Western Digital 3TB Caviar Green 3.5" Internal Hard Drive:
I use this drive in a RAID array for long-term backup storage. It's the biggest drive available right now that works for my system. Unfortunately, due to the floods in Thailand last year, all hard drives are more expensive than usual. This drive is no exception. If it were a bit cheaper then I'd give it 5 stars. Other than price, it's great. No crashes yet.

Comments about Western Digital 3TB Caviar Green 3.5" Internal Hard Drive:
I searched and agonized over the process of upgrading my iMac 2007's original 250 GB hard drive to a large, 3 TB drive. In some places, I read that this WD drive "was never intended to be a boot drive", but in other places this drive was recommended. I decided to go for it, and it has worked out great. The drive has good speed and the 3TB size is awesome! I notice no change in performance as compared to the original drive that came in my iMac. ifixit.com has great step by step guides for installing in an iMac.

Comments about Western Digital 3TB Caviar Green 3.5" Internal Hard Drive:
I bought this hard drive to hold my long-term data files in my media center. Since it's not holding the OS or the DVR files, performance wasn't a high priority. I needed high capacity at a low price from a trustworthy brand. This drive fits the bill perfectly. I've only had it for a few days, but it's been performing perfectly.
