DEAD: 2TB Samsung Spinpoint F4 3.5" SATA Internal Hard Dr - $59.99 AC - FS - Newegg

Loaded two of them into Synology DS211j. 2 TB of redundancy.......

Redundancy only goes so far. Both my drives failed within 24hrs.

I was planning on getting 4 of these since it was so cheap, good thing I didn't, failure rate is atrocious.

Not sure why as the Newegg rating is at 91% 5 star. Can't get much better than that.

I think it might have more to do with newEgg's atrocious HDD packing methods

is it worse than eWiz? I bought a drive from them and it was in a box 3x the necessary size and had a single deflated air filled packing bag in it.

That said - 1 year running and no problems *knock on wood*

My 5 were packed well in a small white box and wrapped in paper within a larger box. Maybe newegg just doesn't like you guys...lol
