I thought it would be better, but overall not bad.

Three years ago, I used four drives to create two soft-RAID arrays for SQL server. I have 4 disks here, however 2 of them have faulty sectors all over the place. Nothing could be retrieved from the lost data. There is no sign of stopping the old REs (WD5003ABYZ), but even under a light load, they will only last another two to three years at best.

Pros

Price\sSpeed

Cons

The reliability of the RE series is lower than that of the *ABYZ series.
