Review on πŸ’Ύ WD RE Enterprise Hard Drive 500GB SATA III 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache - WD5003ABYZ by Yusri Yafiq ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The purchase was not entirely successful, there were minor problems in use.

I took 4 disks for two soft-RAID arrays, for SQL server 3 years ago. Now I have these 4 disks in front of me and 2 of them are scattered - a bunch of bad sectors. The data could not be recovered. The old REs (WD5003ABYZ) are still working 24/7, but these were only enough for 2-3 years in a low load.
