I have bought

3

in the past year. They all seems to work well. I use them for backups. Each runs 24/7 for a week, then 15 minutes a night for a week, and then a week off site.

I am running 4 WD10eacs (and 2 of the 750gb equivalent) in my unRaid server (by limetechnology).

I really think western digital has come up with a winner for drives dedicated to storage in the green series. However, they've improved the 1gb version with the WD10eaDs - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136317

This drive is a three platter drive/w 32 mb cache. It performs better and uses even less power than the eacs series.
