Product Description
WD RE3 7200 RPM Enterprise SATA hard drives are packed with performance features including a SATA 3 Gb/s interface, up to 32 MB cache, and an ultra-fast dual processor. Enhanced reliability features, including 4th generation RAFF technology make these drives the easy choice for servers, storage arrays, video surveillance, and other demanding write-intensive applications. Backed by a 5-year limited warranty in capacities up to 1 TB. Compatible with: Mac; PC
From the Manufacturer
WD RE3 drives combine up to 32 MB cache with SATA 3 Gb/s transfer rate for lightning-fast performance in demanding server and storage applications. Technologically advanced acoustics minimize noise. Cool drive operation and enhanced reliability features help protect the drive and the data stored on it.
WD RE3 – Generation 3: Best-in-class performance, unparalleled reliability.
Massive capacity- WD RE3 Enterprise SATA drives are available in capacities up to 1 TB.
Dual processor - Twice the processing power results in a 20% performance improvement over the previous generation.
StableTrac - The motor shaft is secured at both ends to reduce system-induced vibration and stabilize platters for accurate tracking during read and write operations.
RAFF - Our fourth generation RAFF technology includes sophisticated electronics to monitor the drive and correct both linear and rotational vibration in real time for up to a 60% performance improvement in high vibration environments over the previous generation of drives
IntelliSeek - Calculates optimum seek speeds to lower unnecessary power consumption, noise, and vibration.
Multi-axis shock sensor - Automatically detects the subtlest shock events and compensates to protect the data.
RAID-specific, time-limited error recovery (TLER) - Prevents drive fallout caused by the extended hard drive error-recovery processes common to desktop drives.
Third generation dynamic fly height - Each read-write head’s fly height is adjusted in real time for optimum reliability.
Thermal extended burn-in test - Each drive is put through extended burn-in testing with thermal cycling to ensure reliable operation.
NoTouch ramp load technology - The recording head never touches the disk media ensuring significantly less wear to the recording head and media as well as better drive protection in transit.
Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR) - WD RE3 drives utilize PMR technology to achieve even greater areal density, reliability, and design margin.
Ideal For
Servers, storage arrays, video surveillance, and other demanding write-intensive applications.

BOTTOM LINE IS WESTERN DIGITAL RE3 HARD DRIVES FROM 2 DIFFERENT VENDORS ARE BOTH USED SOLD AS NEW!
I ordered another of these from a different supplier this time SD Peripherals. This hard drive is ALSO USED! OVER 19,900 HOURS, 830 DAYS!!!!
Everyone is saying the hds do not have manufacture warranties. The Reason the hds do not have a warranty is because the manufacturs know the hds are USED so any warranty has to come from the seller.
I will be contacting both Amazon and SD Peripherals. I already contacted the seller of the previous 4 hds 313 Technology and they made good saying it was just a mistake - they sold what they received but didn't test them.
If you have ordered any of these, or are going to order, do yourself a huge favor and check the drives Smart stats with a tool like smartmontools.
These guys are unloading OLD hard drives as NEW on Amazon. I actually had higher hopes for this drive because it came sealed in an anti static bag. So they are taking used HDs, resealing them and selling them as new hoping no one will check.
This hd actually has errors reported in the smart dats as well as relocated bad sectors.

Second, speed. According to hdparm - admittedly only a rough indication of only one parameter (buffered reading) - my other drives, Samsung HD103UJ with the same size buffer, are about 30% faster. The WD is also noisier, not that that's a significant issue in this application. My Samsungs were some of the firstborn from the marriage of Seagate and Samsung, and were made in China (earlier Samsungs were Korean, and this WD is from Malaysia). Given that heritage, maybe the WD1002FBYS will redeem itself with longer life.
Third, packaging. I've bought between 2 and 3 dozen WD drives over the last 20+ years, and I can't recall another that didn't arrive in a heat-sealed antistatic bag with a little silica gel packet. This one was packaged in a generic antistatic bag sealed with a paper sticker and no silica gel. I know, it's advertised as "bulk," but so were many of the others. That, and the light scratches on the drive's case, makes me wonder about this drive's history.
None of these is enough to disqualify the drive, and let's be fair - a bit more than seven sawbucks for a 1tb "Enterprise" drive is a pretty respectable deal, even if the warranty is nearly 80% gone. Back in 1993 my 256mb (that's MEGAbytes) WD drive was over 4 times that. We've come a long way.
So I made a complete back up with an external 1TB drive but also wanted to keep the old drive with Windoze 10 on it as another backup just in case. I found this drive and it was a decent price.
Received it yesterday and installed it in the HP desktop, installed Linux Mint and copied the data back to the new drive.
The drive I received appears to be new, and doesn't show any errors so far but I'm going to be running some additional tests and will try registering with with WD for warranty.
As always, make sure you have good backups since any drive can fail at any time, but so far this drive is looking really good and my wife's system is now running at least 10 times faster than it was with Windoze 10 on it.
So if you are having performance issues with Windoze or just don't like Windoze checking in with the mothership you should check out Linux (Ubuntu or Mint) And this hard drive appears to be a very good deal.

ich habe vor ca. 4 Wochen bei Amazon (super schnelle Lieferung) 2 Platten RE3 Enterprise 1TB
bestellt und als Raid 0 laufen.
Ich muß sagen sie sind super schnell, kaum höhrbar, und wirken sehr zuverlässig.
Die Wärmeentwicklung ist überraschend kühl.
Ich kann die WD Platten wärmstes empfehlen.
