>> Very good drive at a reasonable price
The RE drives from WD like the ES from Seagate are enterprise drives and have a specified MTBF which the consumer drives do not Performance is top line and what else can I say
>> Approved for use in ReadyNAS Duo
Netgear approved drive for the ReadyNAS Duo Bought this as a second drive to my 500GB Duo Duo recognized it immediately after installation no problems for at least two months now
One note it does appear to run 5 10 degrees F warmer than the stock Seagate drive that shipped with the Duo but nothing out of the ordinary
>> Western Digital 500GB RE3 Sata 7500rpm RAID HDD
Have three runnig in an RAID 5 config must have minimum 3 drives for RAID 5 These drives are silent run fairly cool and are quick Not knowledgable enough to discuss the technical aspects but suggest you visit the Western Digital site and explore the Enterprise RE2 and RE3 technical info RE2 and RE3 enterprise drives are recommended for RAID configured server applications The differnce between RE2 and RE3 you ask From the DATAMATION web site The RE Series drives are currently offered in three flavors The previous generation RE2 drives the next generation RE3 drives with a dual processor design that increases the drive s performance 20 beyond that of the 2nd generation drives and the RE2 GP or GreenPower drives which feature power conservation features including Intelliseek calculates the optimum speed of the actuator arm to reduce wasted movement Intellipower balances the actual spin speed of the platter to match needs and consumes less power on start up and Intellipark unloads recording heads during idle Intelliseek is also featured in the RE3 drives
They work great in my small network storage/retrieval application If you re looking for absolute speed check out the Western Dig VelociRaptor 10 000 rpm series while you re at the website
