People say the WD green drives are failure-prone, but I have 2 of the 2TB models that are still going strong after 2 years. I paid just $79.99 for each of them. The WD black drives are more expensive, but run faster and rarely fail, plus they have a 5 year warranty instead of 2 years. The best deal I've seen is the WD Mybook 3TB external drive for $150, but these use the green drives and seem to have a high failure rate.
