Of course there is a reason why they are so cheap. (hours) LBA_of_first_error# 1 Vendor (0xb0) Completed with no errors 00% 21488 - #2 Vendor (0x71) Completed with no errors 00% 21488 - However, no errors or problems. That's 2.5 years of service. Another report for 5 years. Given that these are Hitachi drives, which have the lowest failure rate among Seagate and WD, I feel a little better. The price is worth it.
