Or phrased differently: there is an easy to use utility that will make 
green drives work well with Linux.

To add to the list of useless anecdotal evidence: I have never had a WE 
Green drive fail, but had a whole batch of WD RE2 drives (their top of 
the line 7200 RPM enterprise drives) die, some within days of each 
other.  Ditto a batch of Seagate ES drives.  Bottom line is all brands 
and technologies of drives _will_ fail.  If you are worried about drive 
failure your best bet is a RAID array using different brands (or at 
least batches) of drives to minimize the chance of coincidental failures.
