Posted August 13, 2020 I found a deal for a second hand wd 3tb hard drive for about $50. I am looking to build a budget gaming/ work station pc. The drive hasn't been used a lot(back up drive). Is this drive still worth buying or am I better of with a different one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 13, 2020 WD Green were never really good drives to begin with, so it's hard to recommend buying a used one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
