Right. Moreover, it is well known that a good raid1 array is built upon disks from
different batches. This means you actually had, for example, to order WD hard drives from
various resellers.
In my lab, we used several WD15EARS-32M (WD Green 1.5TB) and a few died early, as well as
other HD from other brands. So, really I think the issue is almost of the time a batch
issue than a brand or design issue.
Maybe these WD HD have design issues, but for sure the experience depicted here is not
really conclusive.
