Can't say anything bad about WD Raid Edition drives.
Currently I've go over 100 of them without any problems.
Thou I've found some of them generating small number of Raw Read Error
Rate, but only in 2TB model WDC WD2002FYPS.

I'll have to disagree a bit here. Manufacturers go through cycles and
usually there is one that stands out on a size/period.
Manufacturers almost never change the manufacturing process over time
for a particular drive. They will update firmware as time goes buy. So
a good drive today is going t

I have a WD10EADS-22M2B0. Manufacture date printed on the drive is 17
MAR 2010, and I haven't attempted any firmware updates, if applicable.

Hrm, do you have model number of the drives?
I have some WD drives in a raid 10 array (LVM2 + EXT4 + linux) for my
media PC and it would be useful to figure out if some of the issues I
have seen over the last year have been related to the use of drive.
