why isn't there a website that does teardowns and reverse engineering on hard drivfes. i want to know EXACTLY what's different in WD's model lineup, and between manufacturers
for instance here's the first thing i've heard about an actual concrete difference in WD Purple drives, other than "engineered for reliability" and "has some mysterious error correcting technology": they implement the ATA Streaming feature set that prioritizes time over integritypic.twitter.com/OrKgmrtnaC
some of the pins on the rear of Seagate drives are for their diagnostic serial port, which allows you to enter commands like "Corrupt LBA," "goop plot," and "head smash test"https://www.hddserialcommander.com/seagate/
At this point I'd settle for reliable... reliability metrics for consumer HDDs
hard drives: they either work fine for 40 years or they break in a couple. no way to tell which one your new one is going to be
I’m curious about the difference with their controllers. I’m thinking it is mostly firmware differences with some minor hardware differences
Major hardware difference between WD consumer and enterprise drives (UltraStar, Gold, some Red Pro): spindle attached with bearings at both ends. Greatly increases vibration tolerance and general mechanical reliability. The 5yr warranty isn't just a marketing gimmick.
is it even possible to know what's good in drives anymore? i saw someone found the mean time before failure on server drives is worse than consumer ones. i've been putting off buying drives for like a year because its a mess
backblaze publishes failure rates for the specific models they use but that's about it as far as i knowhttps://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-stats-for-2018/ …
there's the good ol' Red Hill Technology Guide, but that ends around the turn of the century
@ServeTheHome ? Maybe?
I know this is a bad answer, but the reason why we do not, and I can imagine others do not is that it is costly and time consuming to generate those teardowns. There is a small audience that wants the detail. It is difficult getting a reliable sample if changes happen in manuf.
