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.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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 haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
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.

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.
