Not sure what is with all the bad reviews of the WDs and Gates. I personally am using 3x Ears20s in my home server/music/movie streamer PC. The only thing is it goes to sleep often and there is a slight "wake up" time of 3-5 sec when you open a file. Also got a few jitters when streaming full 1080 .ts files but its a 5.2krpm and most of my HD vids are 720.

I bought my sis a gate 2tb from a recent sale and so far no complains.

Maybe, I'm just lucky?..
