[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1139274, member: 141969"] I have had two 2TB Western Digital Green disks fail within the last several years (but both outside the warranty period :(). These were external "My Book" USB disks, so not subject to vibration from other disks in a NAS. I did not move them around much, and I was careful not to knock them inadvertently. I was using a total of ten "My Book" disks at that time, so two failures gives a failure rate of 20% :eek: -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
