WDC Reds Not Suitable?
I just finished reading this writeup: http://www.smbitjournal.com/2014/05/understanding-the-western-digital-sata-drive-lineup-2014/ This comment, about halfway down in the Red section, stood out...
The URE rating and other reliability features made me go for WD Red Pro and WD Se drives in my 314.
The thing to watch out for is the additional heat produced by these 7200RPM drives. Both of the drives regularly run at 50c in my unit and giving the max op temp is 55, i consider this too high, although i know mdgm will disagree on with me.
Unfortunately, you can't get 5400 rpm enterprise featured drives anymore; i think there would be a market for them.
