Cons:- none

Pros:- high capacity- good price for 2TB
Comment:
great for storing all your files that aren't used that often. i bought two of these, one in my pc and one i use as an external hard drive. shuts off when not in use for a long time so that's a plus - saving energy!

It's the perfect drive for storage. I'm on my second one now.However, I would not recommend this as a primary drive because it is a little slow.

Cons:Slower than Blacks

Pros:Sata3 ConnectionBig Cache
Comment:
These make great storage drives for media. I use two of them for video, photo and music storage and they work great the Windows Home Server box I set up. These probably wouldn't be the best for gaming or boot discs though - the WD Blacks are better suited for that if not using an SSD.

Western Digital 2TB Caviar Green SATA3 Intelli Power 64MB Cache 3.5IN Internal Hard Disk Drive HDD
Cons:-Green?

Pros:-HOLY CRAP 2 TERABYTES-Low power, quite
Comment:
Very good drive if you're looking for storing data on it. Though there was a flood in Thailand which caused the hard drive prices to ramp up in price, the space that you get with one of these drives make it the ultimate library drive. If you're looking for a cheaper way to get a lot of space and keep your OS on it, i would suggest getting the blues instead. though i am running my OS off of the green drive, there are point where the hard drive seems like it's taking a long time to load one game. Other than that, if you're using it for what it was intended for, you should not be disappointed!

Western Digital 2TB Caviar Green SATA3 Intelli Power 64MB Cache 3.5IN Internal Hard Disk Drive HDD
Cons:WD Greens are slow as molasses

Pros:Huge storage on the cheap during Boxing Day
Comment:
To see the boxing day pricing, especially post-flooding pricing was just too good to pass up. Provides a large amount of storage for backups on the cheap.It is slow as molasses, but when you only spend 70$, you can't expect the moon.4 Stars for good capacity, but poor performance restricting it to infrequently used storage and backup type tasks.

Cons:Not super fast.

Pros:Size, Price, WESTERN DIGITAL
Comment:
As a storage drive this is excellent value. I got mine before the flooding issues in thailand, and even now at twice the price its good value. Has been storing music/video for 4 months now. No problems. Not the fastest drive, but perfect for storage.

Western Digital 2TB Caviar Green SATA3 Intelli Power 64MB Cache 3.5IN Internal Hard Disk Drive HDD
Cons:not very fast

Pros:large size, less energy consumption
Comment:
I bought this to replace a 750 gig drive that just died. I am replacing a 5400 rmp drive, so speed was not increased.I used a SSD for my os, so this large piece of storage goes perfectly with my system.As far as moving data around....from SSD to this new drive, 90 gigs in 48 minutes. From another 5400 rpm drive, 660 gigs in 2 hours 10 minutes.I do NOT recommend this for a primary drive, do not install your operating system on it, get a smaller and faster drive for that purpose, either a SSD or at least a 7200 rpm drive.I'd recommend this drive to anyone who wants to have more storage space. For the price, 134.99 on sale, it's a deal.

Western Digital 2TB Caviar Green SATA3 Intelli Power 64MB Cache 3.5IN Internal Hard Disk Drive HDD
Cons:Slow and mine has lag issues.

Pros:Cheap with large size.
Comment:
I bought it because of the price tag and I was using a 400gb WD and was always running out of room. Now the size and price are great it is rather slow at moving files and I've had issues with lag (blue spinning circle, drive wurrs all activity pauses for 4-7 seconds then resumes after double clicking sound). I'm switching my OS drive to Velociraptor 600gb (so small!) HDD for improved performance for PC gaming. This will still be used as my storage HDD and would say it is okay for a storage drive. I'd suggest going with the Black, or Velociraptor for your OS drive. This review was modfied by poster @ 01-12-12 02:07 PM

Western Digital 2TB Caviar Green SATA3 Intelli Power 64MB Cache 3.5IN Internal Hard Disk Drive HDD
Cons:- Slow... but to be expected from a green drive. - Pricey (for now, but thats because all the retailers are price gouging with the thailand flood)

Pros:It actually works... unlike the WD20EARS or the WD20EADS models which died within weeks!!
Comment:
I had many WD20EADS and WD20EARS models fail within weeks of getting them, this EARX model has been fairly good so far.Hpefully I will be able to trust my data on it, and won't have to resort to the trusted Caviar Blacks for storage.The SATA III interface is a gimmick, it doesn't even saturate SATA II speeds.

Cons:None so far.

Pros:Fast, quiet, large.
Comment:
Got this right before the price hike. Runs well, can't really hear it over my case fans or other drives. It actually benched fairly well and even beat one of my Caviar Black 640GB hds.

Cons:RPM on this is about 5600RPM

Pros:lots of storage space
Comment:
this is great for the money you pay, depending on the usage type this is most likely the best cost efficient purchase you could ask for however if you need more speed in your system i would suggest getting a HDD with about 7200RPM. still i'm more then happy with this as i require a lot of space on my computers for pictures documents etc
