I was thinking it might be the same drive, but it's not.
RE vs. SE? WTF?
I jumped over to the Seagate Barracuda line and I've never looked back.
It's not a Barracuda, but this Seagate is bigger with roughly the same cost per gig as the WD drive.
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

I have WD (and Maxtor and Seagate) at home and work and they have worked great. Actually, I haven't had a hard drive fail in a really long time. I have 2.5GB drives that still work but I just don't have a use for anymore.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I know there's freeware out there that will let you create a PDF from a Word doc. Is there anything that goes in reverse? Approximately three thousand of the source documents for my new project are PDFs, and my life would be a lot easier if they were editable.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
A TLER disk is meant to be used in a RAID system.
Explaination: [link]
WDC's official line: [link]
Basically, the TLER is stupider and less robust about error recovery, since it assumes that the RAID controller will be handling that task.

I believe SE is a desktop line and RE is a server line and then there is SE16 for a 16 megabyte buffer as opposed to a 8 MB buffer.

Thanks Tom. I want to use the drive for backup, so it seems to be a bad choice. Looks like the 400GB Seagate is a better deal all around.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Cool. Replied.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Mssr. Scola, do you have to have my email address whitelisted? I just want to make sure my email to you went through...
