I have one champion WD10EACS bought in 2009 that is still working like new with 8 years of power on today. It was on a torrent server for more than 6 continuous years

[dswv42] i dont have anything to complain about WD… their RMA is amazing at least to me. they solved all my issues in a timely manner with an advanced rma… normaly my WD drives fail within the warranty period of 2 years or seem to last forever…

and [Jonty.S] is correct

i was expecting other people to post more pictures of drives that were in service and have many power on days and not complains about the drives my friend

you have another thread to do that…

have a nice day :slight_smile:

in the green fiasco you are right… i had to use the tool since the beginning to disable head parking

Oh, and word has it that WD Blue hard drives are the new Green, with the same high load_cycle_count problem, except that the wdidle3 utility no longer works to disable the WD “intellipark” feature. They are defective by design. IMHO
