Green Power with storage aplenty

Strengths: This drive and this line of drives from Western Digital are designed to perform well using less electric power.One TB of data stores a lot of movies, songs and pictures.

Weakness: It's going to take a lot space to back up this baby.

Green power is better for you and better for the planet. Additionally, this baby holds all your movies, pictures and songs in one place. This is the biggest internal drive currently available.

Best drives I have ever used.

Strengths: Its easy to install, configure and get it running on my XP PC.

Weakness: None

I bought it because of its price and the 3 yr warrantee. Its fast accessing the data and my music. I was able to replace my old maxtor drive. with 10 mins I was running on my new drive.

NOT Quiet. Great Price.

Strengths: See below

Weakness: See below

The drive is NOT quiet as the package claims. So if you are looking for a quiet drive stay away from this one. I bought this at bestbuy for $215. Great price for a 1TB drive. Supposed to be eco friendly by stepping down to 5400 RPM when needed. Claims to be quiet. I installed it on my TiVo HD. It is a lot noisier than the TiVo's original hard drive. In a quiet house you can still hear the...

Western Digital Does It Again

Strengths: Large space, Quiet, WD Name

Weakness: None so far

Large size, supposed to save on power. No issues with heat or noise. I use this drive to store my DVD library and some pictures. Tons of space but you will find things to fill it with in this new tech again.

Great product

Strengths: Awesome

Weakness: None

This hard drive is killer. It's not only huge, but a perfect match for my growing movie collection. I just wish that I had two :)

WD 1 TB Green hard drive

Strengths: Capacity, runs cool, 3 year warranty

Weakness: Cost

I bought this drive to consolidate the data stored on several smaller drives onto one drive and still allow me room to grow. Unlike most Western Digital drives, this drive has a 3 year warranty instead of the usual 1 year warranty. I don't know about the "green" part but this drive does run cooler than other 1 TB and even 500 GB drives I've used. I haven't noticed any speed difference due to the...

Great, Large Hard Drive

Strengths: Size, Power Usage

Weakness: None

I bought this hard drive to use in a dedicated server that stores my music collection. The first thing I did is created an ext2 file system and copied 320GB of data onto it with no problems. It may be a little louder than other drives, but that's not an issue for me, I just needed a large drive that hopefully will use less electricity than others.

Nice Drive

Strengths: 1TB, WD quality. Green drive

Weakness: 3 years warranty. Only 16MB, I would prefer 32MB chace for the drive of this size. A little slower then other 1TB drives

I like Western Digital drives. Never really had any problems with them unlike Seagate. My least Seagate drive crashed right out of the box. WD drives seem to be more stirty.

Great price. Welcome to the 1TB club!

Strengths: Size, WD reliability, runs cool

Weakness: None so far

I bought this HD to use in a external enclosure for data back up - baby photos and video! I did a lot of research to find out which brand was seen as most reliable and least likely to fail. This is very important to me when dealing with our memories! WD was a brand that was well respected and reviewed. This unit has a variable speed and so performs when it needs to and runs cool when it does not...

Cannot go wrong by Western Digital...

Strengths: Just transferred my MyBook WD contents 320 GB to my new 1 TB drive--lots of space. The drive is quiet--I CANNOT hear it over the combined noise output of the CPU fan & my 10000 RPM WD Raptor HD.

Weakness: Unfortunately I installed this drive under Windows Vista. The WD tools install CD would not work with Windows Vista, so I had to use the Windows Vista formatting tools.

I am planning to go to the WD website to look for Vista compatible Western Digital tool programs since the install CD is useless with Vista. Registering the product online was easy. You get a 3 year manufacturer warranty.
