Then there is no difference between this and a regular Green drive.... then why do people say Green drives are shit?

I don't know. But Elements have high ratings for an external. The Internal probably works different than external HDDs (not the HDD themselves, but how the computer operates on internal vs. external).

I plan to use it 24x7.... so almost like an internal... So I may look at Black in an external enclosure too.

Aside from the drives running more slowly (if not USB 3.0) and being ejectable, and perhaps being mounted onto a letter after everything internal is assigned a letter, there's not much else that's different.

If you're doing either/and storing videos, music and pictures, then green edition is fine. You can play the media file from there without problems, too. If you're doing anything else besides that, like encoding off or on the hard drive, installing programs, OS, running off programs off of it, using it for RAM space (or whatever), then green edition is not a good choice. Green editions are only for media that needs large space - that's it.

I have a forum friend using WD WDC MyBook (Essentials) 3.5" USB3.0, 2TB.. it failed on him same with caviar blue on the same day here some screenshots: from 100% health to this
<<< those head parking sucks
he already sold that external and he said he never go back to WD because of that.. me also as an WD user I experience slowness in my caviar blue *already sold it*.. so for me avoid caviar blue and green *internal or external* they sucks head parking per 8 seconds that causes wear and tear
