is this one of the better 'green' drives? I have no problems with WD greens despite all the complaints (turned down spin-down), but i'm interested in trying other 'greens'. any specific samsung or hitachi 2TB models?
yeah deal's dead. Looks like they not only jacked up the price but now there's also shipping since the coupon floating around..pretty lame.

From what i'm reading the samsung seems to be the most reliable...but IMO with high capacity drives it just seems luck of the draw...better run diagnostics before storing your valuable shit and you should be good.

I think there's an option in Win 7 to turn off the spin-down effect of the WD Caviar Green.
