This new revision (EARX) improves at all the old mark (EARS).
Even less consumption, heat, noise and better rates.
All this thanks, in part, to the presence of 4 plates (against 3) for the revision.
One star less for the guarantee, which rose from just above 3 years 2 years now.
By cons, red card for Amazon, on this one !!!
Like others, I received my hard drive packed in a single carton for pocket book, so without any protection!
And since the package was delivered to the keeper, impossible to refuse.
Unacceptable!
Currently disc thorough check by WD LifeGuard (there for several hours).
I will publish my review if the disc in any trouble.
Edit: No problems on the drive, depending for months without worry.
