OK.. I might really have fuct up. My desktop started acting strange, with very slow boot ups. Even the first Bios screen had like a 40 second delay. The PC in general was acting weird, and my RST Intel program kept warning me, but nothing seemed to be wrong.
Anyways, I decided to...
All WD 5400rpm hdds suck IMO. They are slow and over priced and the reliability has traditionally been worse than a 7200rpm variant that's faster and cheaper and basically uses the same energy. It's not 2010 anymore.
This makes no sense and your viewpoint is biased.
Fail post is a total fail.
Why do people think past singular issues with OCZ on early released products rushed to market suggest every OCZ drive is the same ?
Even if we all concede to you on the garbage data your suggesting about OCZ...
This*
Vertex 4. Then Sammy (with lesser NAND).
I'd light my reproductive organ on fire and put out that fire with a sledge hammer over using a Crucial M4. It's easily the most overrated SSD ever sold. It's not cheaper, it's not faster, and its not more reliable.
Those are facts...
The speed increase of 1tb platter density is offset by the lower 5900rom spindle speed.
Performance of both the 4TB with 5 platters if 800gb and performance if 4 platters of 1TB is basically the same.
The Seagate 7200 rpm with 3 1TB platters is still the heavyweight champion in today's market...
There's something about Anand and hating on OCZ that takes it beyond opinion and into emotionally charged religious hatred.
I never understand it.
The motivation for people to be so against something is not evident to me.
It's just a piece of pc hardware. Lol.
Well...
It's certainly two years older than Samsung and....
It's certainly slower in general.
Not sure where your argument is derived from ? Probably personal preference or personal defense of your own purchase decision ???
There is little fact to be debated about what I said.
I have 15 Seagates (3TB) and never had issue (yet)
It's the best selling HDD in market now so if it had major reliability issues you'd already know about it.
I think it's pure luck. It's as reasonable to assume you got a "good" batch that would have high reliability as anything else so I'd work on that assumption and plan for the worst for safety.
Does that mean that the WD Green drives do or do not park the head after 8 seconds causing higher number of on/off cycles in 27/7 NAS or Server operations?
I've seen conflicting information and I am confused.
Does or does not WD green have head parking ...
If rather build a server.
If you need local speed just RAID 0 two 3 TB HDDs and cache with an SSD.
Storage and performance are different.
anyone who needs raid hardware speed over thunderbolt it better off just installing locally.
