+thanatos Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Are the manufacture dates all 2004, or do you have any newer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+poobah Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 Are the manufacture dates all 2004, or do you have any newer? all the same date edit: The 74GB raptors produced before 2006 (WD740GD) are preferred to the later ones (WD740ADFD). The later drives have a broken NCQ implementation, which has to be disabled making the older drives faster (they use TCQ from the SCSI protocol). The drives have a MTBF of 1,200,00 hours. According to Spinrite, most of these have around 13,000 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
