What makes you say that? I've bought several of the 3TB variants in the past and they've all been blue or green...

Really?! I've got a 3TB in the house - never thought of even cracking it open.

Are these fairly easy to take out the casing? I've been eying up 3tb drives for my PC but 2tb for £45 is nothing to scoff at. Fed up with having to sort out my steam library all the time :laughing:

Terrible reliability, the software controller is abysmal.

I suppose, to be fair, I should have clarified to say that 'based on the ones i've had in the past'. I've had a my book and a my cloud and both have had red drives inside but i can certainly accept that it might not always be the case.
the case is a bit of a sod to get open though :smiley:

Can you reformat this for use as a external Xbox one hard drive ?

According to reviews on Amazon, it appears that you can use it on XB1

You can use practically any usb connected external drive, it really isn't fussy, you don't need a special one. I have the 3TB version of this and it works very well with Xbox One. That said I've nearly filled it, not as hard as you would think with regular 360 bc updates adding more games almost daily and GWG it's surprising how fast that space goes.
Will have to hope for a good deal on a 5 or 6TB this black friday...

I found them quite easy to take out, just wedged a flat-head screwdriver in to lever the sides apart. Twice in the past year I've bought 2x3TB drives for £90 from this WD offer as there is usually £10 off a £100 spend

What's a recertified hard drive? a faulty return with a quick format done and a lesser guarantee, no thanks.

Bought one of these a couple of months ago, arrived like new but kept dropping connection to my pc, ran diags on it and reported the drive was failing so had to send it back for a refund.
