Product Description
As demand for storage continues to expand, the need for more efficient power solutions becomes paramount. WD RE2-GP makes it possible for large scale data centers to increase storage capacity without exceeding available power, and in many cases actually reduce power consumption. WD RE2-GP drives help combat the four major challenges large data installations face – total drive slots, maximum capacity, power allotment, and available operations expense budget – while lowering the overall total cost of ownership.

Mine works well
I bought one of these for my HTPC, which seems like a perfect use for it. The drive offers a balance between performance and power consumption, plus it is very quiet.
You should know that this drive is not intended to be as fast as a true 7200rpm drive; power savings and quieter operation result from taking the speed down. If performance is more important, there are faster 1TB drives; look elsewhere.
In installed mine and it worked perfectly, and still does, as I expected it would. The system performance does not suffer in ways that I notice, but on the HTPC ultra-fast disks is not a priority.
UPDATE: I bought a second one for 2TB on my media/HTPC … it also works well.
When it works!
First drive failed Diagnostics. Second drive from WDC, not the Vendor, was DOA (Drive was referbished, and just off the (re)assembly line. If you yell loud enough, WDC will swap out a NEW one not another referb. As they say, Third time is a charm. Works great, saves power. I don’t notice the reduced performance over a straight 7200 RPM Drive. The Vendor was not to blame in any way for the drive problems. WDC needs to clean up their act, quality control is very poor on these drives.
