What are you using those for, Justin - back-up?

Otherwise you don't want "green" drives, because they save energy by going to sleep in the middle of your recording.

Also, if I were going attach a stand-alone drive to the network I'd use one of my routers with a USB port. Or just use one of my PCs, which are worth about $50 each nowadays.

Meanwhile, I'm not any more afraid of 2TB drives than any others. I trust none of them but use them all.
