The WD Green 2TB drives are still hanging in there.
I recently (last week) had downloaded 355GB in 3 large sets of database from one (that has 1.8TB of data on it) to a player for a test. The loads were 77GB, 93GB, and and 185GB each.
Not a problem for the 2TB drives or the player drives. For more information, see the 250GB thread and the Windows 7 64Bit crashes emplode thread on the BBS.
It took "days" of access to the drive. I know it isn't recommended, but the 2, 250GB drives in the player are getting old and I controlled the environment very carefully, it's all in the threads.
I am purchasing 2 more WD 2TB today for back-up, plus a 500GB WD SATA laptop drive to work through SATA drives for the Empegs.
