You'll want to keep an eye on your Load Cycle Count in the SMART data. The
default 8 second idle (and thus very high rates of increasing LCC) on WD
Green drives has been faulted for the "early" failure of many of those
drives. If you are able (if a utility exists), consider lengthening that
time to a minute or longer, or disable it if you prefer longevity to power
savings.
