I won't pretend to be an expert or actually know this, but in researching SATA drives a few weeks ago, my understanding of the WD "green" drives is that they do not spin up to 7200; when tested they all spin at 5400 all the time. I can't remember now why that was wasn't misleading fraud, but WD had some sort of lame explanation.
Otherwise, they seemed like good, quiet, drives to consider (but I wanted 7200).
