WESTERN DIGITAL RE2

Conclusion
The Western Digital RE2
is a great drive to use in 24/7, high-density, or
enterprise server environments. It has awesome
MTBF and reliability figures, making it ideal for
situations where robustness, uptime, and data
integrity are of higher importance than throughput.
And at a street price of about $171 online for the
500GB model, its a splendid deal - about 34 cents
per gig, and a 5 year warranty with a 100% duty
cycle.
We do look forward to
newer versions of the WD RE2 that should bring much
higher I/O performance, hopefully in the very near
future.
