Zool,
If the focus is the new "4K sector" format business, then this is brand
new to me! I only became aware of this last month.
In my operation, this issue is a Non-Problem. I do zero
video-streaming. I do zero audio-streaming. I do zero "bit-torrent."
I do know that the newest Intel-based NAS offerings from Netgear freely
do this new "4K sector" formatting. I've read the marketing BS and
exchanged private emails with a knowledgeable Beta-tester of the new
offerings. The lucky buck got a free new NAS for being a Beta-Tester.
Nice gift! If only I knew more about NAS!.......... :)
All I can share is my personal conclusion; and, that is, that the
"green" series of WD drives are having trouble when used in a NAS
envelope. OK. A Netgear NAS envelope! I most certainly will NOT speak
to all the other NAS players. I do not use their products.
Again, I am NOT a NAS Expert. I just own/use one.
Best,
Duncan

I actually have over 6 Green drives right now.
I think he is referring to the new 4K sector format??

Growing pains? Can you elaborate because those are what I've been waiting
to acquire for my next upgrade.

Zool,
I can not dabble with your 1st question at all. I use the "Barracuda"
and "Cheetah" series and have had very good service.
In my NAS forums, the WD Greens are having major growth pains. I know
nothing about a Samsung offering.
Best,
Duncan

What's the concensus on the best low power 2TB Drives.
I need it for my NAS and don't need blazing speed, I need cool running
operations.
Should I get the Barracuda LP series or the WD Green, or the new highly
touted Samsungs.......?
