ya 2 year warranty scared me off.. i like the wd red drive for 110 after rebate but I dont want to do rebates.. i guess i might tho ;0
Here's that drive on amazon. The reviewers there report that the 2TB and 3TB versions are repackaged WD Green drives; most of the reviews there were for the 500GB version which was apparently a WD Blue.
WD Greens have a very bad reputation here.

Seriously? Today's drives typically fail out of the box or within the first few months of service.
My experience is that if it survives the first 6 months, it'll probably last over a decade.
<EDIT>
Micro Center also has the Toshiba 3Tb for $10 more http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.aspx?sku=286187
My experience things fail just after warranty expires.. not like the manufacturer has no idea what they doing and just randomly pick amounts of time,,, if u are right i imagine everything would have same warranty,,but alas you are not and diff drives are designed for diff types of use. Glad you are so lucky. And to the person with ten green drives zero fail. Very good luck because lets get real ten of any drive and u bound to have one die, unless you are not using them.
I don't know why anyone would purchase these at MC when the Toshiba drives with 3 year warranty are only nine dollars more.

The extra year warranty is definitely a big plus, but some may be after the lower power, noise, and heat that 5,400 rpm drives have for NAS/Servers.
