This review is from: TOSHIBA MK1002TSKB 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Enterprise Hard Drive
Pros:
powers up, hot-swappable, temps are decent, supports the smartctl scterc command. supposedly enterprise ready.
Cons:
high Load_Cycle_Count values as reported by SMART tools. i'm running this drive as part of a ZFS raidz2 on solaris (running on a *relatively* low traffic server) and the drive is constantly parking/unparking. linux users appear to have a workaround for this via hdparm and disabling the drive's power management but that tool does not run on solaris. my ratio of Load_Cycle_Count:Power_On_Hours is incredibly high.
Overall Review:
my drive array has 2 flavors of seagate drives, 2 flavors of WD drives, and samsung drives. none of the other drives have this problem, only the toshiba.
