The WD Black WD1003FZEX however, has a slightly higher theoretical cache-to-disk data rate (Re: 128MB / s; Black: 150 MB / s), which in practice, however, is unlikely to affect.
That's the theory. Because meanwhile not send me known consignor more hard drives in shock-proof secondary packaging, the shelf life data, as with all mechanical drives for luck. [If someone still finds a shipper: Report here!]
The words "Fragile" on the plate thus ensures best for a tortured smile. In any case, a complete surface analysis part before initial must.
Volume: operation noise at idle virtually inaudible. Unusual noises such as "crack", "buzzing" or "singing" may indicate a latent transport damage (but please do not search with the stethoscope for it!)
When disk access arises, especially when non-linear reading, the famous "IBM-tacking". However, a little quieter than the old IBM plates from the 90. The noise sounds roughly like aufkochendes water in a small saucepan. For super quiet living room PC, the plate thus not suitable, however, during normal operation, the noise is not necessarily unpleasant.
The plate is, as with plates Server usual rather warm and should therefore be actively cooled. For installation in set-top boxes or the like. Are there other (cooler) models from WD or Seagate.
