Another lame Western Digital from 2003, complete with ball bearings...

This time, it's the WD400JB-00ENA0. Transfer rate of only 26.5..47.3MB/s in HD Tune Pro 4.01, compared to competing drives which manage at least 28.0 (I.D., 7K250) to 55.9 (O.D., 7200.7) (according to HD Tune Pro 4.01). Also, the 1MiB random read time is 47ms...it's starting to look like Western Digital drives get worse-than-average results for 1MiB random reads. Would explain why the WD360GD-00FLA1 can't quite keep up with competing 7200RPM drives in that test...

Somehow, the WD400JB-00ENA0 still runs normally after 35,368 hours. Can't say I can tolerate the noise, though, and I wouldn't trust it for much longer.

The WD400EB-11CPF0 is evidently from a Compaq. Who else would be willing to put such a slow drive in their computers???
