Re: [slim] Seagate Constellation CS 3TB
The only thing I'd like to say here is don't let a WD Green age much more than 2 yearsÂ… unless it is a very old one (the 1st 1TB GPs were way more reliable) epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97821 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Seagate Constellation CS 3TB
The WD Green I am using now is 2 1/2 years old so I guess it is due for a replacement. My computer is not on 24/7 so that might extend it's life a bit. I was hoping someone might have some knowledge of the Constellation HD ; I know it can be used in NAS servers but I am not sure if it would be a good choice for a desktop SlimChances's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=165 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97821 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Seagate Constellation CS 3TB
I would not swap a perfectly OK HD just because of age. Usually crashes happen the first few weeks. In case you have several backups (you should have anyway) no need for action.

Re: [slim] Seagate Constellation CS 3TB
Michael you may well be right on that. Frankly I have yet to have a Hard Drive fail before it gets too small for my data. However I ended up buying a WD Black 4TB monster and have transfered my music to it. This gives me a great deal of room to add music and a new(old) back up drive.

Re: [slim] Seagate Constellation CS 3TB
That should work OK. Have you looked at the WD Red line? They have higher MTBFs and a 3 year warranty. agillis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21140 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97821 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Seagate Constellation CS 3TB
The WD Black has a 5 year warranty. The MTBF is no longer published for these drives but I believe it would be a higher rate than the Red drives SlimChances's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=165 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97821 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
