Guest HenryWaxmansNostrils Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Are you sure that number is not load cycles .i think they.re rated at about 300,000 cycles so you are over half. There has been a lot of discussion in the past about the green drives and the aggressive head parking causing high load cycles and subsequent high failure rates. WD issued some software to disable this function. How old we're your drives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigiTM 60 Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 Your right, they were load cycles. The drives are Sep 2011, so just out of warranty (typical). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HenryWaxmansNostrils Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Personally I would give it a try under the warranty .your only just out and this is a recognised problem. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could make a difference as warranty is from purchase date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigiTM 60 Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) .is that the date of manufacture or the purchase date. Could make a difference as warranty is from purchase date Date of manufacture on the drives. I'll contact the place I bought them on Monday, they should keep records. Although WD will most likely give me recertified drives back anyway which is nasty. FlexRaid seems to be working since I installed a new drive, however it appears to be taking forever with 16 hard drives. And I'll remember to run WDIdle3 to S300 on any future green drives.

Guest HenryWaxmansNostrils Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 If you don't take it out of the sealed wrapper you.ll get a better price on eBay . Then put the money towards a WD Red. Glad your array is rebuilding. Loss of data is always the biggest pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashkelly 62 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Another bonus I am seeing from going from ISO to MKV is that the MKVs are taking less space than the ISO, by like about 10%. It is a 1:1 conversion so I am not losing quality and I converted all movies on a 3TB drive that had about 1GB of free space and now I have 300GB free Room for more movies!!!!

crashkelly 62 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Well my conversion from BD ISO to mkv is now complete and it was well worth it. Over the course of the conversion I found 5 ISO that were messed up, without going through the process I would have never known until movie night when they didn't work Also, and as an update to the previous post about saving space, I ended up reclaiming almost 800GB of space all which is strictly attributed to the conversion process as I did a straight convert of the contents of the ISO to the MKV file. All in all I am very happy I did it and thanks to all who made suggestions and provided input. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanielOtto 0 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 BDMagic is worthy a try. I've been using its side-by-side MKV option for my smart TV for a dozen Blu-rays, never stuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
