I have stopped using WD10EARS and WD20EARS disks due to timeout issues under load. Replacing 40+ disks is a difficult call, but having multiple disks go offline and losing the zpool frequently made the decision easy. I have had good results from some Seagate consumer disks, but due to supply issues I am now looking for alternatives.
We have used 1TB WD-RE3 drives with very good results thus far, model WD1002FBYS. We're not stuffing 40+ in any machines, but scrubs run nice and quick across our dataset of striped mirrors. According to the wdc.com website, "advanced format" isn't called out on any of the RE3/RE4 models. Only half the Caviar Green models and a single Caviar Blue seem to indicate this advanced format (physical 4KB or something). -- Eric D.
