I guess every little bit helps; but until all components consume less energy, having a greener hard drive that I plan to run 24/7 is not going to make that big of a difference.

It doesn't do you a damn bit of good if the gadget is eco-friendly, if it's a piece of crap. If no one buys it, then the whole thing was a waste in the first place.

But taking devices that are already reasonably well designed and making them that much better designed so that they draw much less energy, that's certainly something I can support.
