I'd want one too if they weren't so expensive!
sapsa:
3 x Samsungs on board: 1 x F1 (2 years now ) and 2 (one is 1 year old, second is 1 month) x F3. All work great, they are fast and quiet :)
And Warranty depend on seller, Samsung got 3Years Warranty, but you can buy cheaper with 1-2 years warranty only.
My friend had alot of Seagate and he had like 3-4 hdd failure, and I dont know about current WB Green, but the previous had failers too cuz people use them us Main HDD and not storage Hdd.
Thats only IMO, ~ Peace

Ah, see, my largest drives so far are my 750 GB Greens, and my largest Seagates are 320s. I give them a few years to get their firmware figured out before buying things.

Yer never buy the largest sized HDD on the market, I know someone who lost 1.4tb of data cause they bought the 1.5tb hdd as soon as they came out.

Seagate already had the firmware issue sorted, IIRC. This was more than half a year ago in any case. I lost a Barracuda 11 to it too, but it was replaced under warranty so it's not an issue. Three other identical drives have been running without issues for over a year, I'm still waiting for them to fail before the warranty runs out. RAID 5 <3
I just looked up the warranty card for my WD drives, it seems warranty for the first 3 years are covered by WD. The 2 subsequent years are covered by a third-party firm. If they don't follow a similar policy in other regions, then I guess their drives will only have 3-year warranties.
Also, using WD Greens as main OS drive... lol.
