IIRC 4 out of 6 3TB WD caviar green drives were broken (3 more or less DoA, 1 failed after about 2 months). sent those 4 back via RMA, the replacement drives work without problems (knocking on wood). looks like they had a (big) bad batch manufactured and are now sending out proper ones as RMA replacements. nevertheless, next time I'll use WD RED drives, as recommended here frequently. cu AB> Hello, AB> I am running RAID5 array on 6x 3TB WD SATA disks.
