Indeed. I don't use WD drives for RAID any longer.

IIRC the currently available WD Caviar Black models no longer enable TLER to be
set. For WD drives, to have TLER capability you will need to buy their
enterprise models like REx models which cost mucho $$$.

The described problems with WD aren't okay for non-critical
development/backup/home use either. The statement from WD is nothing

Regarding vdevs and mixing WD Green drives with other drives, you might find it
interesting that WD itself does not recommend them for 'business critical' RAID
use - this quoted from the WD20EARS page here

I think both have native 4K sectors; as such, they balk or perform slowly
when a smaller I/O or an unaligned IOP hits them.
How are they formatted? Specifically, solaris slices must be al

Hi,
the question is which WD Green drives you are using. WDxxEADS or WDxxEARS. The
WDxxEARS have a 4k physical sector size instead of 512B. You need some special
trickery to get the max performance out of them, probably even more so in a
raidz configuration.

Is this a sector size issue?
I see two of the disks each doing the same amount of work in roughly half the
I/O operations each operation taking about twice the time compared to each of
the remaining six drives.
I know nothing about either drive, but I wonder if one type of drive has twice

hi all
I just setup this test box on OI. It has a couple of X25Ms, 80GB and eight 2TB
drives, two of them Hitachi Deskstar 7k2 drives and the other six WD Green. I
have done some tests on this with mirrors to compare the performance and those
tests conclude that the Hitachi drives are 25% or so
