Perhaps you have a problem with something other than the drives, e.g.: - a bad or insufficient PSU, providing too low (or too high) voltage over 5V or 12V (this could manifest only under load, too); - not enough cooling?=20 - inadequate case, resulting in overly high vibration or even resonance? > Has anyone experienced something similar with WD green series? If you see a sectors repeatedly appearing that become unreadable but are fi= xed after a write, it is usually a symptom of a drive that is partially defecti= ve and should be exchanged.=20 But since you have this symptom with all of them, maybe the cause is differ= ent. > Is this because of WD "green" series?
