Pros: WD Green == low heat, low noise, low energy consumption

Cons: earlier production manufacturing QC issues

Overall Review: 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).

Pros: Can't tell, was DOA

Cons: Power Supply was DOA

Overall Review: debating seding it back for RMA since shipping may end up costing more than this enclosure is worth.
