A friend of mine is using Seagate ES drives since many years in his |
| 10 |
servers. He replaces all his drives after the five years warranty time |
| 11 |
is up and as far as I can remember he told me, that he never had a |
| 12 |
failure with all of his drives. He gave me two of his old drives and |
| 13 |
I used them for some years in a RAID-1 array in one of my machines |
| 14 |
till I replaced them with SSDs recently. They are still ok. The only |
| 15 |
bad thing about these drives is their high noise level. Server drives |
| 16 |
are usually located in a server room and not in an office and so they |
| 17 |
are not designed to be silent. :-) |
