I bought my by accident, fortunately it doesn't matter, even while it's
a backup drive, for my home computer. But since I care that it doesn't
spin down and up too often, by allowing it to stay asleep and as a
backup drive I often disconnect it, the drive is already nearly 4 years
old, without every running into an issue. Anyway, next time I likely
would buy a case with an USB controller and a separated non-green
drive to mount into this case.
