Considering a new hard drive

[Qwaxalot]

I'm first time using WD brand, with green power feature(WD10EADS-00LB1) not black edition as posted above. I bought more than one year ago. the drive is fast but today starting clunk (like old HDD) thats very annoying especially when opening application, even only opening browser..if you consider buy WD, you can choose as posted above but you need stay away from WD like i have.

I'm not only one getting this problem..

 

That is a common problem with the "green" drives. It's a function of the two speed (power saving) feature.
