RAID users keep eye on these

white Reviewed By: Mark on 4/9/2009
Rating + 3
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year
Pros: These drives, as well as the 1GB models have low noise and good power savings mechanisms, and generally good price per MB ratio. Havn't had one fail yet, though all of them have been flagged for replacement by SMART after a few months.
Cons: Be careful if you use these in RAID set ups. WD recommends against it, for good reason. The low power features of the drive make the R/W heads set very often, and within months the drive could be past the limit of load/unload cycles and start showing as old to SMART monitoring tools.
If you are set up to use SMART monitoring, keep an eye on your load cycles and you may see them rise ridiculously fast, especially in RAID environments.

There was a tool, wdidle or some such that WD gave out to some people who had to deal with this problem, that allowed you to tweak the amount of idle time before the drives set the head. Using it essentially cuts down on the load/unload cycles by not unloading in as short an idle time as they are made to do, undoing some of the green power technology's savings.

Sorry for the run on sentences toward the end there.

best packaging ever

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: WD Green == low heat, low noise, low energy consumption
Cons: earlier production manufacturing QC issues
Other Thoughts: I have had numerous WDXXEADS and EACS. We bought two of these 1.5s to try them out, especially since their price point puts them lower $/GB than the 1 TB drives (albeit just barely). The thing that impressed me was the packing for our order. It was MUCH better than any other HD order we have done from Newegg. Maybe they had too many problems w/ DOA drives ? One other thing that I want to note is that whenver I get a new drive I format it then run a surface/bad block scan. Both of these came back clean. We have a WD10EADS that I had bought 2 weeks ago that I need to return as it has 11 bad blocks right out of the gate (it also wasn't packaged as well as the WD15EADS were).
