[QUOTE="milhouse, post: 328450, member: 26653"] Bare drive and OEM are the same. No SATA cable, no power cable. Just the drive in an anti-static bag. The "green" should cause you no issues. A green drive normally runs at 5400rpm (like a laptop drive) and speeds up (up to the listed 7200) when needed. Wouldn't be my first choice for a timeshifting or recording drive (esp if more than one card uses it) but great for general media storage and playback. Supposedly will save a bit in energy useage, but I've never looked for any real-world comparisons. Milhouse [/QUOTE]
