WD10EADS WD Caviar Green - 1TB >> excessive Load Cycle Count
I have two WD10EADS 1TB drives in my Duo. The first was installed a months ago as Drive 2, mirroring the 500 GB Seagate that came with the Duo. The WD drive seemed to work just fine, so I recently bo...
Thanks for the answers NAS-t.
I'm guessing that I'm not going to be able to return the drive I put in the NAS as it's used. So, if I can't return it I've got a few options.
1. Use the drive in the NAS, and hope for the best.
I had a Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1TB die on me a while back that I'm gonna get replaced, hopefully the drive that I'm getting instead of it is okay and compatible. I can then use that one in the NAS together with the WD.
2. Try and get the WD-drive sold. And then buy one that is compatible (or another Seagate-drive). And use it with the Seagate-replacement.
3. Try and get both the WD-drive and the replacement Seagate sold. (I hear they still have problems with their firmware? That was the reason I chose these WD-drives instead. My Barracuda died after just 5 months, so I'm worried if their problems still remain it will happen again. Everyone gives the Seagate drives 1 of 5 stars and writes CAUTION in big letters in the comments of the webshop doesn't really help either hehe :))
Not sure what I'm gonna do yet.
Asking the same question as in my last post: Is there any advantages of having two identical discs instead of two different?
