    Hmmm 3TB Green is not a good batch then...

    Looks like it.

    The thing is I rarely use BOTH the 3 TB Green and the 1.5 TB FreeAgent GoFlex drives.

    I was actually retesting both of them recently, and they passed the tests... and then a few days later, they died. :nuts:

    The 3 TB Green was working but like the RE4-GP, it wouldn't read certain files. Quite a lot of them actually.

    As for the 1.5 TB FreeAgent GoFlex drive - it was a catastrophic failure. The drive wouldn't start and I can hear very loud clicks. Sounds like a read/write head skipping on the platter... :wall: :wall:

    Not sure if the Red drives are more reliable.
