  In the product page it states "Ships from United States" which makes me doubted on the validity of 5-year limited warranty unless WD HDD comes with global warranty

  "Enterprise Grade" does not mean more reliable.

    Sunny84 on 22/09/2017 - 20:48

    What does it mean then

    • 

      Indomietable on 22/09/2017 - 20:52

      More expensive for sure

    They seem to offer their extended warranty which normally means they consider the model to be more reliable.

    You are paying for warranty insurance and IT tax for enterprise level drive. Some vendor throw in features that makes the drive slightly faster and require more power.

    Enterprise drive designed to be housed in controlled room (same temperature, dust free, no vibration). Running 24x7 really does not cause damage to hdd, its the spin up spin down that kill hdd faster. Consumer drive designed to live in harsher environment where ot exposes to dust, high temperature fluctuations, frequent spin up and down, vibration and power instability.

    Company like backblaze published their hard drive result and you can see the evidence (although with small sample) that the failure rate of enterprise hdd is higher than the consumer drive. See: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-failure-rates-q1-2…

    All hard drive will eventually fail. Buying enterprise hard drive because its more reliable is not the right reason.

      To avoid data loss you have a server which means they are running RAID (5,6,10 etc)…
      Of course all drives will fail eventually but when you get a set of drives and put them in a eg RAID 5 when one drive fails you remove it and add a new drive avoiding data loss…(Backups = safe). Good TIP: If you are running raid get WD GOLD, HGST and Seagate HDDs - different brands and see which one fails first then you know next time to avoid this model hdd ie seagate xxxx = crap.

        • RAID is not backup! It increase redundancy and eliminate single point of failure but will not save you from accidental deletion or malware. Best way to avoid data loss is to do backup.
        • If you care about your data you should avoid raid 5.

        Good TIP: Plan for failure and always think that all hdd is crap. Spending more money on Enterprise HDD because its more reliable is false sense of security
