Same here, I don't want a WD Green in my box the reviews are too poor. I bought 3 when it went on sale, but now I wish I had bought 4 as I want one for my Cache drive as a warm drive now.
I am waiting for a similar sale to come around.

I didn't read great reviews on these Green HD...
Thanks for the link, ordered 3 for my new build.

Is USB 3.0 an important feature? (i guess it is if I want to connect external drives only)
Is SATA 6Gb/s an important feature for future hard drives?
