Plain and simple. According to feedback on Newegg the drives are simply not packaged properly for shipping. These are delicate devices that, when roughed up (think UPS) the chances that they will...

From my research : "As far as drives, I would recommend getting Toshiba DT01ACA200's (~$100-115), 2TB drives. SATA III, CCTL (same as TLER), 64MB Cache, 7200RPM....where as the WD Red's have...

They seem to have the features of the wd reds but with a 7200rpm rotation

I have never seen a reference correlating spin rate and failure rate. Can you please link that. I'm interested in seeing it. The drives in this price range are usually green 5400rpm. This is a...

Awesome! What kind of RAID are you going to use? Is it going to be a true server with a dedicated cpu or is it going to be more akin to a NAS? I have been enjoying Windows 8's homeshare setup and...

Any comments on the quality if this drive? Looking for a large storage drive. Seems like a good deal.

I also I believe Seagate bought Samsung HDD. Hitachi and WD contracted with each other last year so that these drives should be based on WD equipment and tech. ...

I thought SeaGate bought Samsung HDDs?

I would go with CentOS as well unless you have all of your systems using Windows 7 and you can find an inexpensive product key. Even then, I am not sure it would be worth it as the only real...

Seems like a pretty good deal? The cheapest price I found for a 2tb in recent were Seagates back in November. Does anyone have a test routine to ensure the drive isn't damage/defective?

Can't imagine why you'd want to run Server 2k8 for just that. In fact, for your planned usage, a dedicated RAID5 card is probably overkill (as you're going to run a torrent server, I'm assuming this...

There isn't really any correlation at the base level. The issue is with heat generation. Higher RPM drives generate more heat than those of lower spindle speeds. Thus, if there isn't enough cooling...

Understood and agreed. I'm building a file server now using 8 drives. They'll have a pair of 120mm fans blowing through them at all times.

No, this is a 3.5" drive (the physical size of the drive). Laptops take 2.5" drives.

I'm currently comparing windows 7,server 2008 and CentOS. Server 2008 seems like overkill. Windows 7 and CentOS with webmin are my main choices. I'll be using a perc 5 controller and a raid 5 on...

They were doing something right if Seagate bought them out.

I ordered a pair of oem reds. They came in just plastic anti static bags. The box had construction paper packing holding them in place. Both worked perfectly.

Then you were lucky. NewEgg used to package well about three years ago but they are a crap shoot right now. Not one of the last three HDD's I've picked up from them over the last two years has been...

It seems to depend wholly on the employee who packs it. My velociraptors that I bought in December were packed better than any HDD I have ever ordered anywhere but I have had a couple from them in...

You probably need a 2.5. Some laptops that ar very slim and are not using ssd use a 1.8 profile. Just a heads up the faster the speed of a drive the higher the fail rate. For a backup drive you...

Actually that article is not quite correct (it doesn't indicate what 3.5" tech is being sold to Toshiba by WD, and so it's easy to infer that it's talking about WD tech). Basically what actually...

Thanks for the clarification.

Isn't this dead? Coupon has expired.

Aren't these Hitachi designed drives? They can't be worse than Seagates
