WD Green == low heat, low noise, low energy consumption
earlier production manufacturing QC issues
I have had numerous WDXXEADS and EACS. We bought two of these 1.5s to try them out, especially since their price point puts them lower $/GB than the 1 TB drives (albeit just barely). The thing that impressed me was the packing for our order. It was MUCH better than any other HD order we have done from Newegg. Maybe they had too many problems w/ DOA drives ? One other thing that I want to note is that whenver I get a new drive I format it then run a surface/bad block scan. Both of these came back clean. We have a WD10EADS that I had bought 2 weeks ago that I need to return as it has 11 bad blocks right out of the gate (it also wasn't packaged as well as the WD15EADS were).
Good drive for media storage/backup. I have the 1TB version and have had good luck with it.
I had to RMA my drive for bad sectors; seems like a common complaint on this drive. It had a Nov.'09 mfg date. WD sent me the 64MB cache WD15EARS version as replacement, which you may want to consider instead. (Note: you have to pay return shipping when you RMA to WD).
