    Must be quite old. I haven't seen WD Blues in a long time.

    I guess its the 7200.14, 2TB. I'm using two right now.

    One is 640GB, which is quite old. But the 1TB Blue failed in less than 1 year after purchase :|

    Wow.. Failure in less than a year. Not good at all. What happened? It suddenly stopped working?

    Extremely slow reads/writes, and some files were corrupted too. It happened suddenly without any warning. :wall:

    That's a little like what happened to the RE4-GP. One day, the files just couldn't be read properly. But most of the files on the HDD were affected. Luckily, it was just used for tests, so no big deal. Still, it's quite worrying to see it "die" like that. It wasn't really used all that much.

    I don't think servers will run on Green drive... It has very poor random performance.

    Aiks I forgot to check, returned the unit back to HP. The replacement unit is a Seagate, I dun recall seeing any color on the HDD, it was a SATA 250GB 7200rpm.

    Eh, sorry, server... if it's 5400 RPM then it should be the REx-GP. But if it's 7200 RPM then it should be the REx series.
