Great drives

Posted

Pros: Quiet, low power, tons of space

Cons: Price

Bought 3 of these a year ago (for RAID1 and an external backup). I haven't had a problem, until recently. One of the drives started in with a SMART error. A quick RMA to Western Digital fixed it however. My other 2 drives still function flawlessly. Getting ready to setup a RAID5 with them once my replacement comes in. Wish me luck, as I've heard they don't like higher levels of RAID too well. We'll see.... I would happily buy more of these drives (I actually want to), but not for the $300 they cost right now. Once they drop back down to regular prices, I'll be buying more of them.
