Tom's Hardware reports that Western Digital will be first to market with a 2TB drive. The WD20EADS is a part of WD's GreenPower series, and uses four 500GB platters. Other specs include 32MB of cache and a seek time of 8.9ms.
Although Tom's Hardware reports that the drive will run at 5400RPM or 7200RPM, you should take the claim of 7200RPM with a grain of salt until we get our hands on actual hardware for testing. As this analysis from SilentPC on the first GreenPower drive indicates, GreenPower drives normally run at the slower speed.
How much will the first 2TB drive set you back? Around $210-240, rumors say, but we'll all know for sure when the drive hits retail shelves later this week. Will you be lining up for the first 2TB drive, or would you rather have a couple of 1TB drives? Hit Comment and sound off.

With all the trouble Seagate is having with their 1Tb and 1.5 TB drives, I just hope that Western Digital can maintain their usual high standards.
Why does it have to be green

Why does it have to be green save the planet slow? Good god being first when it comes to slow is not something to brag about. I for one will not acknowledge this drive. I will wait for the inevitable Baracuda or Samsung speedy ass 2TB HDD.

I would say for my purposes, i will be building a Home files server soon and i would rather go and buy 4 seagate 1.5tb from newegg for 130$ a piece than these 2tb for 230-240$. i'd rather buy one more 1.5tb to bridge the gap in space (will be in a raid 5).

***I would not recomend the seagate 1.5TB drives in RAID, they have known issues with RAID of any level. Try to check on forums and see if the controller you will be using is going to work***
-I'll spellcheck later
