I own one of these 3TBs drives and five of the 2TBs versions. They all suffer from the same issues. (Tested on 3 computers).
The drive is fine for storage only but it is inadequate for anything else. If you use it as your media drive (video playback) you will be disappointed. The drive has the tendency to go to sleep even if sleep mode is disabled in the OS. Seems that the old “HEAD PARK” problem is still an issue after all the updates WD released.

I have two of these in my Drobo, they work just fine. They top out at around 85 MB/s, but that isn't a problem since the Drobo itself tops out around 25 MB/s. One a price-per-gigabyte basis, the Western Digital Greens are very competitive, and these drives continue that trend.

If you are looking to store your data, movies and tv shows, this HDD is the best for the price. I'm looking forward to buy a second one to build a raid 1.

It seems the hard drive is too big for its own good. Recommended to partition the drive to smaller sections before use. Or just use it for a raid array (raid 5 or better).
I picked up two of these drives for my recent computer build. I've always liked West Digital's product and the price for the drives was right. They're not the fastest drives on the market, but I plan to use them as data drives supporting an solid state drive. Good value for the money I invested.

using 1 of these at the moment in a htpc to store all the movies/tv shows/music and so forth on, it transfers files very fast over the gigabit home network also which helps when i am moving files from my computer onto the htpc. Hoping the prices come down soon because i would like another 2!

It is a very good product but be sure you wait for a special. If not I find it kind of pricy. My PC boots in less than 20 seconds. One thing to worry is the huge space, if it crashes you might lose a lot of information. I find it very silent also compared to my old hard disk.
