Got a WD Green 3TB as a secondary data drive for my Vista computer. Yes the notorious EZRX too. It will be a live backup to an external drive.

My original external failed as I was copying the files, so got an internal drive I can access instantly, and transfer that to the new external (also 3TB) every so often.

Is GPT reliable in Windows Vista? I've seen a lot of issues with Windows 7, and even XP, but almost nothing on Vista.

I only plan to use this internal for this machine, and if it (PC) does die I'd grab laptop and an enclosure or a win 8 tower.
