I think if you are running WD green on a Windows box you should have no problem, I have a 6 Hitachi 320GB disks with a 50% failure rate within 2 years. Returned under warranty they sent back a different model and those have been rock solid. I am a ZFS on Linux user and a lot of the really smart people there are advising to stay clear of WD greens, reds or black are a different matter. and WD are rated highly there.<br>
