WD Red - Irony Strikes
May 28, 2022 08:10:24 #
Last week, I posted about a temporary sale on Amazon: 8TB WD Red (NAS) drive for $135. I ordered two so I could upgrade my NAS. Yesterday, I saw a new video on YouTube explaining the class action suit about WD Red. This seems to go back a couple of years. If I had known about it, I could have collected $4 - $7, like those other lucky people. 
It seems that the "problem" was not much of a problem, so I'm still glad that I bought these drives.

For the most part, most really aren't a problem.
Someone gets a bee in their bonnet and people jump on the band wagon,
for their $4-$10. Meanwhile, the lawyers really make out.

My two 3TB WD Red have been working fine since 2014.

My "under stated rating HP" mower worked great until I moved and sold it.
The Red wasn't about reliability, it was about "shingled" recording technology, where data overlaps other data.
More data can be stored on a given surface area with shingled recording.
How susceptible to data errors? Dunno. I suppose it depends on the extent of the overlap.
