Review on Reliable Storage Solution: Western Digital WD Green WD30EZRS 3 TB 3.5" Internal Hard Drive by Mateusz Boguszewski ᠌

I use several of these drives in my home server. The two oldest ones have exceeded 20 thousand hours, all indicators are normal. Recently, several of these live in hardware raid5, I don’t see any problems due to TLER - but this may depend on the controller (I use hpsa p410, it is very good for generic sata disks). from the obvious: 1) to use the entire volume, you need gpt support (for any disks > 2GB) 2) in closed cases with poor cooling, any disk lives for a long time. My temperature is 35-40 degrees. 3) when used with Linux-like systems, parking timeouts must be configured. I turned off the car park altogether.
