I have a bunch of WD Reds that have been going on forever in a server and I’m more than happy with them, just the kind of storage you want in a 24/7 solution.
I’m not fond of Seagate drives because all the ones I’ve had were very noisy. No complaints about reliability though.
everything looks pretty normal except Multi_Zone_Error_Rate but I guess it was corrected because it went from 197 to 200 again.

I don't get the the value "Temperature_Celsius" 105 I suppose the correct value is the RAW_VALUE which is 42.
@BlackBloodRum looking again at your values you have very low Power_Cycle_Count are those disks used in servers??

Sadly, the time has come to retire those drives
Just performed a full shred with 6 passes on the oldest of the two and it's now powered off never to be in this computer again
It feels like a child is moving out

The other drive is still shredding.. albeit much slower than the one above, which is strange.
(I needed more storage.. these are old SATA 2.5 1TB drives)

I have had number of Greens on my machine over the years and only one of them failed. It was first model with that head parking issue and back then i had no idea it should be changed to keep drive alive for longer. It died with 300k head load/unload cycle count with only about 4-5k working hours. After that i have always changed the parking interval and the drives seem to hold up just fine. Right now i have 3 2TB Green drives in my machine with 37-40k working hours and they are still going strong.
One of those 3 drives has 250k load/unload cycles while others have about 50k. That first one was bought exactly the same time as the failed one and i changed the parking interval right after the first one died. Needless to say it seems to have worked to keep drive alive but that cycle count is starting to creep to dangerous levels now.

one of my WD greens died because of that also. I didn't know about that thing at the time.
it failed at 290K load/unload cycles
Wrong.

Now having fun discussing the drive with Seagate whom insist I put it in a windows computer to see if it "really has problems" since they "don't support linux" - I don't even have a windows computer..
So this warranty service is fun.... looks like I will have to find some way of obtaining a windows license key for free or some kind of trial or something on a test computer. I'm not paying for windows just to test a drive.. I haven't used windows in many years (I explained this to them).. so it's baby steps for me with it.
Although they did kindly ask if I had a backup (I do, on a seperate drive, which I've since also already restored to a replacement WD Red Pro I purchased the day that drive started throwing errors...)
/end rant
Sorry!

That said, it's ridiculous they need a screenshot to prove a drive is bad. People can just download and edit those.
Oh? I thought Microsoft always requires windows to be licensed? Isn't that part of their whole ToS and such?
All my systems are custom build, so I don't have a working key sitting in the BIOS unfortunately.

Maybe they do, the system would just work though, and remind you to activate it from time to time. Also, you won't be able to customize any looks.
This just confirms that they're after your data now, not just your money.
