I have 3 of these, bought over a period of months. Each has performed very well, running cool, quiet and fast for a rotational drive. I was a long time Western Digital user, but do not like their new head-parking mechanism, which I find to be noisy. I have these Seagate drives both internally in a Mac and in external enclosures (eSATA connection) and they perform equally well in both locations. Two drives are used for backup, one gets constant read/write use. DriveDX drive health utility shows absolutely no problems with any of them.

We have purchased a number of Apple TV's over the years and all have performed flawlessly. Apple continually updates available content, wifi is fast, and Apple TV works with a wide variety of other Apple devices with ease.

This TV is connected to both a FIOS router and a Playstation 4 and provides excellent picture quality with each. It has worked flawlessly with very easy set-up.

Is this a "green" drive?
I'm hearing that "green" drives are not the best choice for your boot (main) drive due to their slower performance.
This drive runs at 7200 rpm. Green drives run at slower rpm (usually 5200 - 5900}, which helps them use less energy and achieve "Green" status. For example, the Western Digital Green drives run at 5400 rpm. The slower speed means both slower access times and slower data transfer times. The difference is not as dramatic as between a rotational drive and an SSD of course, and I have seen some Green drive perform very well. But generally, though Green drives make excellent backup drives, I would agree that performance-wise they are not the best choice for a boot drive. (SSD drives have come down dramatically in price in recent months and would be a much better choice than any rotational drive as a boot drive).
