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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A really necessary purchase, Im glad I found this product.

Bought for personal storage, 2 pieces work (RAID1). After 2.5 years SLA 95% (round the clock 24/7/365) and during this period one hard drive began pouring about 40 pcs into the smart Raw_Read_Error_Rate, and 4 pcs Multi_Zone_Error_Rate. All Seagates and other models turned out to be very noisy and not reliable (Red - less than a year and Purple - 1.5 years). For me, the best choice for a home file washer.

Pros
  • 1. quiet 2. stable
Cons
  • - the head parking is included in the firmware, you need to turn it off with a utility under DOS to extend the life - likes coolness, at elevated temperatures > 55'C speed drops
