navodno WD kupio SiliconSystems radi ulaska tržišta SSD diskova...
nadajmo se boljemu. što znači pad ostalih SSD-a na tržištu firme
Yep yep, jos nisu konkurentni mainstream trzistu, ali poznavajuci WD ...

Za sistemski i programe idelano bi bio kakav SSD (kad i ako pojeftine), a za pornjavu par ovih WD-ovih "zelenih" terabajtuša WD10EADS.
Da, to je osnovna ideja.

Citiraj:
Mislio sam kupiti crnu terabajtušu, ali nažalost, ona nije sačinjena od dvije 500GB ploče kao zelena verzija, nego od tri.
Siguran sam da ne bi skuzio razliku, sve dok ih netko ne bi fizicki otvorio

Citiraj:
Idealno bi bilo da iziđe plava verzija AAKS-a od 1TB sa dvije 500GB ploče.
Sad ne znam ni sam, najvjerovatnije ću pričekati do ljeta, pa ako ne se ovi ne pojavi novih 500GB/ploči diskova uzeti jedan 640AAKS.
Nisi jedini, ima ekipe po forumu koja ceka neke diskove mjesecima, godinama ... valjda ce jednog dana i kupit disk

WD10EADS ima tri ploče, ne dvije.

što se tiče pitanja što kupiti - teško je reći. osobno mi nijedan disk ne odgovara jer želim tišinu... tu jedino u priču upada WD GP, ali njima ne vjerujem jer svakih 8 sekundi unloadaju glave i to bi moglo završiti poprilično loše (još nije nikome, ali...).
Hehe ... da od toliko razlicitih diskova, odjednom nikome ne pase niti jedan ...

Ma trebali su ovi u WD napravit jedan disk i gurat ga svugdje, od laptopa do blade servercheta i mir bozji


P.S.
Samo da se nadovezem na ono: "Manje ploca je bolje."
Najglasniji disk u zadnjih par godina je imao 1 plocu (WD3200AAKS, ali srecom ovo nije slucaj i s WD6400AAKS).


EDIT:
Da se malo pozabavimo i "problemom" koji je pingmachine spomenuo. Izvor: SPCR

"A less serious issue has been found in certain revisions of Western Digital's popular Green Power series. In fact, the issue is less a bug than a feature that doesn't play well with certain computing environments. Nevertheless, the problem has developed a three page discussion in the SPCR forums, so we feel compelled to speak about what we know of the issue.


The problem is this: The Green Power is designed and marketed as a "green" drive, where power efficiency is the primary engineering concern. As part of this concern, the drive is designed to unload the read/write heads after approximately 8 seconds of inactivity. That in itself is not a bad thing — in fact, it's a common attribute of notebook drives, which have different reasons for saving power (battery life). However, certain software (notably, SpeedFan and some distributions of Linux) can cause issues because they access the drive regularly every 10 seconds or every minute or so. This causes a cycle of rapid loading and unloading that is stressful to the drive — far more stressful than "ordinary" use in which the drive is either working steadily or completely idle.
It is worth noting that there are no actual failures attributed to this problem as yet — just a number of drives that are reporting rapid (and unusual) increases in load/unload cycles via the drive's SMART reporting feature.
Some drives are approaching the rated specification of 300,000 load/unload cycles after less than a year of ownership. While the drives are extremely unlikely to give up the ghost right as the counter crosses 300,000, exceeding the specification indicates the point where the risk of failure begins to increase.


In some ways, the solution is simple: Don't use software that accesses the drive every 10 seconds. However, for those who can't or won't deal with this on the software level, Western Digital offers a firmware update that either disables the head unload feature or modifies it so that the unload timer is set to longer than 8 seconds (up to 5 minutes is supported). A separate utility is used to control the feature once the new firmware is installed. In either case, the power saving gained by unloading the heads will be lost, but that's probably safer than dealing with potential drive failures down the road. More information about the firmware update (including a new, lower power spin up mode) can be found in this product change notice."
