Still, they do 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. Regards, Ralf
