Great Drive, Great Performance, But......Watch out...... : Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive ST2000DL003
I purchased 5 of these along with Synology Ds1511+ Nas from Amazon back in April, 2011 for my home. I can't say about how they perform as internal drives for a desktop or in an Usb/eSata external enclosure, but I can surely state that they work great as Nas drives. I have these configured as Raid6, which means you can lose up to 2 disks and still have your volume intact (but at point you won't have fault tolerance). The Nas I got itself is a high-efficient unit, and combined with these green drives it surely consumes less power than the two servers that I replaced...and I have 5.44Tb of fault tolerant warehouse accessible from my 10 Pcs/Macs.
I saw other reviewers commenting about them not being "high-performance" drives. That is correct, this drive was never intended to be used as your original drive for your system. If you're looking for a high-performance drives, you should surely look for 7,200/10,000rpm drives with 16/32Mb cache.
However, when used in a Raid configuration, these drives will deliver high-performance with whole reduced power consumption. In my Nas I was able to withhold colse to 160Mb/S throughput writing to Nas over gigabit network (and even faster reading from it). There's nothing low-performance about these drives when used in a allowable setting. The drive is also quiet. Standing next to my Nas, I can't hear any drive noise even with 5 drives side-by-side.
Bottom line, don't buy drives purely based on price and capacity. You don't buy Prius for high-performance, why expect high-performance from a "Green" drive? recognize what you're going to do with it, then look for qualifying drives for best result. I would have never purchased this to be used in my desktop (for performance) and neither should you.
