Fourth, as I alluded to in my previous post, it would seem simpler to manufacture all drives on the production line with identical internal components, so that the process of manufacturing a drive on the production line allows it to be used in any one of many deployments, rather than restricting an entire production run to a particular use.

Conventional hard disk drives record data by writing non-overlapping magnetic tracks parallel to each other (perpendicular recording), while shingled recording writes new tracks that overlap part of the previously written magnetic track, leaving the previous track narrower and allowing for higher track density. Why? Unless things have changed recently, I was led to believe that shucked drives have no warranty support on the bare drive, are marked as belonging to enclosures in the manufacturer warranty systems, and thus, the only warranty you have is if you stick it back in the enclosure, and use the enclosure's details. Product segmentation, the bare drives sell to businesses mostly (where buying a higher capacity more expensive drive may save money vs buying more rack space and equipment) and the external drives sell in a very price conscious consumer market to customers who largely don't care if they buy 3x4 TB or 1x12 TB. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_File_System, [–]reallynotnick 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago (1 child).

I've got 23 drives between my file server and backups and all of them were shucked and all of them are still working. This is pure speculation on my part, but it's certainly possible that WD has the ability to communicate over the SATA bus using a proprietary command superset to control the drive's behavior, and that the controller card performs that task.

That would also explain why it appears to be the same mechanism, and why they sell these things so cheap -- if they're basically rejects from the HC520 production line, they're a sunk-cost and wrapping them in Easystore plastic is a way to recover cost by selling them into a less-demanding market.

[–]sonicrings4 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children). I have always used 5400rpm drives in RAID1 and the speeds are enough even for multiple virtual machines. And as a result, it was unreliable with the higher flying-gap of a 7200rpm spin rate. I suspect if you ran the drive at a higher speed, your data would be inaccessible, and if the factory ran the drive at a higher speed, they'd low-level-format it differently, probably at a lower capacity because the tracks would have to be farther apart. Not even mentioning less data to process for the controller (memory wear)...etc. Just in case anyone is interested, here is a copy of the smart info that I dumped when I first plugged one in: It's interesting that on the WD140EFMZ drive, smart ID # 22 is reported as an "unknown attribute": On the HGST branded DC HC530 He12 drives, this "unknown attribute" is the Helium_Level: The numbers in those parameters look similar, don't they?
