Western Digital 1 TB Caviar Green SATA III Intellipower 64 MB Cache Bulk/OEM DESKTOP Hard Drive WD10EZRX (Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging)
List Price: $ 129.99

Great storage drive, decent speed,
Had it for about 2 months, so far so good. Runs fast and quiet inside my Desktop PC.
HDTach benchmark puts it at an average of ~ 115 MB/s read speed, which is very good for a Green drive (5400 RPM).
This is a newer Caviar Green drive (EZRX not EARX), which may explain the higher speed.
Pros:
-Fast
-Quiet
-Cool
-SATA III interface for extra RAID bandwidth
-Decent price (after flooding)
Cons:
-Thailand flooding drove the hard drive prices up across the board; this one is no exception
Still recommend Western Digital after buying their drives for a decade (from their IDE drives to their newest Caviar Black SATA III drives).

Quiet drive that does what you expect it to do,
This drive does what I expected the drive to do. I use it as a secondary drive to hold my files before backing up each evening to an external drive. Quiet, efficient and cost effective for what I expect it to do.
