...Also, regarding those "green" drives, don't use them for RAID arrays; I've heard their power saving routines can play bad tricks in a RAID array.
I've heard the same thing. In fact, WD must agree because they came out with the REDs which are also power savers but are targeted primarily towards servers.
Sorry for making another thread about an external hard drive that's stopped working, but I've looked through the other threads and some of the problems they have experienced are similar, but are not the same to mine.

Hi, I have a Hitachi HTS545050B9A300 500gb HDD and was wondering If I am able to use the Hitachi Drive Fitness Test software with my x64 processor? I know that it says it is only compatible with an x86 architecture, but what are my alternatives besides a CHKDSK?
Thanks.
