Hey there, nerdboy329!

I'm sorry to hear about your issues with the WD Green drive! 🙁 I'd strongly recommend you to test the HDD using WD's Data LifeGuard Diagnostics for Windows. The tool will help you determine the health and SMART status of the Green drive, but before that make sure you have backed up your data elsewhere! Here's a link to the WD software, make sure you run both the QUICK and EXTENDED tests: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=muemQR

I'd also suggest you to try the WD Green in another computer and check how it will perform there.

Keep me posted with the results. Hope this helps.
