I have 2 WD Green drives and they both seem to have the same issue.
After the computer is on for a while they suddenly dissappear from the system.
Sometimes they come back and Vista says they need to be formatted.
I have 2 1TB segate drives that have been working flawless and a WD raptor that just keeps running.
I like the cooler running drives for archiving, but I'm tempted to get more Segate drives since they seem to be much more reliable. I want to get a replacement drive, restore from my WHS server and then RMA these drives back to WD, or thats the plan. But I'm a bit out of the loop on what I should look at buying. I always go for the deals!
Oh yea and WD diagnostics never detect a problem with these drives, they just simply stop working out of the blue and require a computer restart.
