Alternativen zur Western Digital RE-Serie?

[Gast]

Ich suche eine zuverlässige S-ATA Festplatte für den 24/7 Betrieb. Die Western Digital RE Serie scheint am geeignetsten zu sein, aber wie sieht es mit der Performance aus?

Gibt es Alternativen?

Gibt es Alternativen?

Edit: Die Raptor ist mir zu teuer.

Barracuda ES gibts noch.

Danke, werde sie mir näher anschauen.

Gibt es weitere SATA Server-Festplatten? Gibt es Vergleichstests in denen die Western Digital RE und Barracuda ES gegen "normale" Desktop-Festplatten antreten?

habe selbst die WD RaidEditon laufen,
laufen nicht anders oder langsamer als meine NONRAIDEDITON
Sind beides 250er Platten von WD

Wenn man die folgenden Threads auf Planet3Dnow liest, kommt man ins grübeln:

Demnach rät Western Digital vom Einsatz der RAID Edition auf Desktop Systemen klar ab.

Was soll man davon halten?

Ich werde wohl die Finger von der RAID Edition lassen.

Aus der WD Knowledge Base:

Question
What is the difference between Desktop edition and RAID (Enterprise) edition hard drives?

Answer
Western Digital manufactures desktop edition hard drives and RAID Edition hard drives. Each type of hard drive is designed to work specifically in either a desktop computer environment or on RAID controller.

If you install and use a desktop edition hard drive connected to a RAID controller, the drive may not work correctly. This is caused by the normal error recovery procedure that a desktop edition hard drive uses.

When an error is found on a desktop edition hard drive, the drive will enter into a deep recovery cycle to attempt to repair the error, recover the data from the problematic area, and then reallocate a dedicated area to replace the problematic area. This process can take up to 2 minutes depending on the severity of the issue. Most RAID controllers allow a very short amount of time for a hard drive to recover from an error. If a hard drive takes too long to complete this process, the drive will be dropped from the RAID array. Most RAID controllers allow from 7 to 15 seconds for error recovery before dropping a hard drive from an array. Western Digital does not recommend installing desktop edition hard drives in an enterprise environment (on a RAID controller).

Western Digital RAID edition hard drives have a feature called TLER (Time Limited Error Recovery) which stops the hard drive from entering into a deep recovery cycle. The hard drive will only spend 7 seconds to attempt to recover. This means that the hard drive will not be dropped from a RAID array.

If you install a RAID edition hard drive in a desktop computer, the computer system may report more errors than a normal desktop hard drive (due to the TLER feature). Western Digital does not recommend installing RAID edition hard drives into a desktop computer environment.
