Mark,

I've bought the WD Green 2TB drive, and, while I'm relatively happy with it, there's one thing that bugs me:

When I want to open up some maps in Windows 7, especially maps with large volumes of files and sub maps in them, the drive takes a few seconds to show me what's in the map. Up to five seconds, maybe even more. This is annoying, especially when the rest of my system is blazingly fast with my Intel SSD as a boot drive. This never happened to me with my Samsung F1 7200 RPM drive, which held the exact same data (using Windows XP back then)
Is this because of the 'slower' 5400 rpm green drive (is this a setting? - I've already disabled all the harddisk power saving settings in Windows). Would a WD black drive fix this issue? Or could this be Windows related? (does this happen in Linux too?)
