I've got a 1.5TB Western Digital Green drive, and I'm not happy with the performance of it. There are also several discussions online about these drives having an early ageing problem with ext4 filesystems because of them unloading the heads every 5 seconds and ext4 only flushing its journal every 30 seconds.
I have 2 1TB WD Black drives and one 300GB Velociraptor they all have been working almost flawlessly. Could you please point me to what kind of symptoms I might see if the above was true for my case?
Both of those drives should be fine. Its only the green drives that have problems.
