Hi, |

As some know, I'm planning to buy me a LARGE hard drive to put all my |
| 4 |
videos on, eventually. The prices are coming down now. I keep seeing |
| 5 |
these "green" drives that are made by just about every company nowadays. |
| 6 |
When comparing them to a non "green" drive, do they hold up as good? |
| 7 |
Are they as dependable as a plain drive? I guess they are more |
| 8 |
efficient and I get that but do they break quicker, more often or no |
| 9 |
difference? |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
I have noticed that they tend to spin slower and are cheaper. That much |
| 12 |
I have figured out. Other than that, I can't see any other difference. |
| 13 |
Data speeds seem to be about the same. |

Please, no brand wars. I may get a WD, Maxtor, Samsung or some other |
| 16 |
brand. I haven't picked that part yet. So far, I have had good luck |
| 17 |
with drives. I think I have one doorstop so far. I have at least one |
| 18 |
of each of the brands above too. Don't jinx me. I'm sure someone has a |
| 19 |
horror story about some brand. |

Thanks much. |
