I thought WD green has a 8 seconds head parking by default to save energy? Not sure why you do not have encounter it. Google: WD Green 8 seconds head, and you will see lots of articles of it.
I thought of using WD Black (to store data) because the the WD Green has the 8 seconds parking that people mention it will shorten the lifespan and slow down when accessing WD Green after it has idle for 8 seconds. I am not sure if I access a file (e.g. MS word/excel) I would need to wait 3 to 5 seconds for WD Green to wake up or not before the file is opened.
