Somedays ago my WD 2tb blue hard drive was crashed. I went to retailers for warranty and yesterday, they replaced it with WD 2tb green version refurbished recertified hdd.

I just want to know why they sent me green version refurbished instead of wd blue refurbished?? is there any fraudulent activity occurred??

plz help me to understand the issue

TIA

WD realigned their color identifiers a couple of years ago, so "Blue" might not be the traditional "Blue" we all knew and loved.

From one of the WD reps:
"The disclaimer on our website is correct. WD Green is going to become part of the WD Blue family However, the WD Blue will be split into two separate RPM classes: 5,400 RPM-class and 7,200 RPM-class.
The old WD Green will fall into the 5,400 RPM-class drives, but yet all its features will stay. However, we won't be calling them 'IntelliPower-RPM drives' like we did till now, but instead you'd know what RPM class the HDDs belong to.
This change is intended to simplify the HDD selection process...

This change is intended to simplify the HDD selection process when you're planning to upgrade your storage. So basically we're just consolidating our mainstream PC product offerings to only the WD Blue family. All current WD Green capacity, cache and form-factor configurations will remain available through their lifecycle, but under the WD Blue brand."

So, it seems that the RPM is the deciding factor, not the 'color'.
As these are both 5400RPM drives...it would seem no harm no foul.
