2013-07-21
this video is brought to you by the Corsair obsidian 350d micro ATX case exceptional expansion and cooling flexibility for compact high performance PCs visit Corsair comm / obsidian to learn more so welcome to my unboxing and first look at the wdse so this is him according to Western Digital okay well first I'll be unboxing right and normally your drives would come with a sealed egg but I get a special engineering sample bag so you would be ripping this apart but you can see that I clearly didn't have to do that because whatever so then you slide it out of the bag which contains of course the all-important do not eat yeah and oh yeah there's a hard drive in there as well so what's the point of the SC because there's already unnhhh as Drive so we've got the red and then the raid Edition the SE sits somewhere in between so it's in between in terms of performance it's in between in terms of price its ended between in terms of robustness so WD is rating it at about three times a consumer grade device in terms of the writes per year and they're now reading workload in terms of writes per year so this drive is rated at a hundred and eighty terabytes per year so it's simple do you need a read an se or an re well do you write more than 180 terabytes per year then I guess you better get an re do you write like not that much compared to that about a third of that then get something like a WD red also it's validated for more than five drives in an enclosure whereas the red is limited from about one to five is the recommended from WD range however I mean I personally have run Reds in larger configurations they haven't exploded yet but you know of course the vibration resistance is is only as good as it is so the SE is much more similar to something like an re in terms of how much vibration it gives off and how resistant it is to vibration from other drives so this one can scale beyond five drives up to you know 24 drives or even more in larger arrays it's available in larger capacity so it's four terabyte and comes with a five-year warranty rather than the consumer grade three-year warranty that something like a WD red has other than that I think that's pretty much all there is to say about this drive it's say six you know yeah Farid don't forget to subscribe - tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos
