Subject: 3TB drives failure rate
Date: Sun, 28 Oct 2012 13:15:27 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <11510711257.20121028131527@oudeis.org> (raw)
when trying to upgrade my raid5 with 4 Western digital caviar green
3TB drives [WDC WD30EZRX-00MMMB0] (3 brandnew, 1 about 4months old),
the "old" drive and one of the brand new ones failed with
unrecoverable read errors and about 70 reallocated sectors each. the
failures already occured during the initial resync after creating the
raid.
until now I was very fond of WD caviar green drives, but after this
50% failure rate I'm not very eager to restore data from the backup.
what is your experience with 3TB drives, WD and others?
(low power drives appreciated, performance is not an issue)
tnx.
