Hi,

I bought a WD 2TB drive last weekend too. It is the Green version (we'll see how that works out), and I bought it locally from Best Buy. It had a marked price of $164.95 but they agreed to sell it to me for the on-line price of $139.95, I called about the previous day. I didn't want to fight shipping damage, I thought it was a reasonable price.

I loaded 1.4TB of music database (majority of my CD collection I ripped with EAC that was on 2 each 1TB drives) on it that night and it seems to work fine. I have used it to play .wav music selections and it doesn't seem to unload the heads or spin down during activity. I guess with .MP3's it may do that. If I get annoyed, I might use the wdidle3 software.

So far, so good.

Ross
