Oh good, it's not just me. They have some strange power management policy that drive enclosures don't necessarily understand. The firmware hack lets you turn that off, but it actually is pretty hard to find.

I've had them refuse to spin up when installed in a normal desktop, controlled by the motherboard's SATA controller.

I have a 1 TB WD Green and haven't had any issues. I wasn't aware of any problems with the drives.

I have a 1 TB WD Green and haven't had any issues. I wasn't aware of any problems with the drives. WD "EARS" Green drives (and I think 1 or 2 other WD Green drives), are "advanced format" and don't like some older OS's (IE: Server 2003, others) you can reset the drive format by jumpering pins 7/8. WD also hs a re-alignment software tool Jumper not included! Jeff
