 Hard drive for HP Mediasmart Home ServerNov 08, 2009
The original hard drive in my HP EX485 MediaSmart server was nearly full and I wanted to add an additional drive in one of the remaining bays. After reading online information and after a short discussion with a Western Digital representative, I decided that a Western Digital RE3 series drive would meet my needs for a fast and robust internal hard drive.
The drive arrived quickly and in excellent shape. The installation in the server was easy. The drive has been working correctly in the server for several weeks.
Great for Synology Nas StationNov 07, 2009
Got this for Synology DiskStation DS209 - to backup my home network. It's a very solid drive and when using for critical backup - you should feel good that this has a 5 year warranty - that is hard to find so I'm banking on this enterprise-level drive being of solid build. I think that is why it costs a little more than comparable drives. I didn't have any problems with shipping - mine was tight in a box with two plastic end covers holding the drive securely - end covers fit perfectly in the box.

Good product, but test it out as soon as you recieve itSep 08, 2009
So, I bought 3 of these recently for a RAID-0 in my Tyan S2915-E MoBo, and I would constantly keep getting errors in Nvidia Mediashied saying that the array was going to fail soon. Long story short, the problem was from both ends, the NVidia driver on XP X64 and one of the disks being bad. one think I'll tell right now is that You absolutely must run the WD test utility to ensure the health of the drives as soon as you recieve them to avoid any confusion. There was a point when I thought my Mobo was bad. Amazon was super cool for sending me a replacement without even waiting for me to send in my faulty drive unit. Performace is definitely great as I am running all three as a 3-way striped RAID-0 Array. To rate these drives as a single drive is useless, for that you have the black edition drives anyway. the RE3 is for RAID and I think rating their RAID performance should be the only performance review.

WD 1T RE3 HD works great in RAID configurationJun 25, 2009
I bought 5 units of the 1T RE3 drive for a RAID-5 set. Works great. Less heat than the black drives it replaced. The RE3 is better suited to RAID applications than standard drives which can drop off the raid set unexpectedly.
