"Rapotor Drive=Poor reliability"
Pros: Fast access speed
Cons: Poor reliability & expensive price per GB
Summary: They are fast. But.......they are NOT reliable. I have had two fail already. Both failures were the controller boards. Sure, they were under warranty and WD replaced them. But, who needs the hassle to re-install the software. Both mine are gone to ebay heaven and good riddance. BTW if you buy your Raptor drive as OEM and not in the retail box, the warranty is only ONE year, not five.

I have 12 of these as oem drives in Dell Optiplex 745 Mini-towers. To date 4 have failed after 1 year service. Even more disturbing they failed back to back 1 each day for 4 days! It is obvious these have a serious problem that speads likely accross the entire line. The "x" drives are also believed to suffer from the same lack of reliability issues. Shame on Western Digital for turning out junk HDs! Especially enterprise level ones! I can't imagine having these in a RAID 5 configuration! If you have these then get rid of them now before they crash! I ahve replaced mine with Seagate ES.2 eneterprise HDs! Seagate Rules!
