Just got 2 WD1002FAEX for Raid 0 for a temp drive. After benching both, one is quite a bit faster than the other. The second one is pulling 10-15MB/s faster read/writes than the other. I've tested with 3 other programs, and gotten the same results.
I've never seen 2 hard drives of the same model with the same firmware vary this much. Should I ignore this or does this seem off to anyone?
- Both drives same model/size.
- Both drives are the same batch (Sept 5th 2011).
- Both drives have the same firmware.
- Both drives are completely empty.
