    Catastrophic reliability.

    Hello,
    one of the 3 disks is defective from the SMART Extended -> 8 sectors H.S
    I don't know what to do anymore after all my WD RED NAS drives failed one after the other and before the WD Green drives (after the warranty of course...), I chose a model advertised with a MTBF of 2 million hours for Ultrastar branded DataCenters (the most reliable by reputation) and already direct a H.S at
    the installation. I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I'm sure it is.
    I've been using it for a couple of movies a week, 2-3 music albums and photo viewing every 6 months.
    No major reading load and even less writing.
    Western Digital really has a problem and move on to the competition? They bought them all out!!!!
    That leaves Seagate or Toshiba?

    Quiet and safe

    For home use: medium-term storage before moving to a long-term NAS + tape solution.

    6T in 3.5" I was expecting a hard drive that scratches hard when you use it a lot, it's not the case. It heats up, think about the ventilation. We'll see over time if it ages as well as my Velociraptor, still fresh and hardy since 2011!
