Are you talking desktop class drives? ES.3 Constellations are enterprise class drives. Of the 100's I have deployed, I've had a single failure, of the 100's of WD re1/2/3/4's I've had dozens fail, so many WD's I've had fail I stopped deploying them about 3 years ago, and now only deploy Seagate ES.3 and Toshiba 7.9k SAS.
I'm curious, @miTgiB, does it have to do with hardware compatibility, i.e. WD is good on certain mother board / raid card but failed on some other types, or it's just simply suck?
I'd cast my vote on suck factor. All my hardware is Supermicro motherboards and a mix of Adaptec, 3ware and LSI raid cards. Overall I would see the most failures from drives on 3ware cards, but most of the oldest machines have 3ware cards. All newer machines use LSI cards, but the newest are no raid, direct to the motherboard using Ceph.
My only Constellation failure was an old ES 2.5" 500gb on an Adaptec card, so I will chalk it up to age. I've never had a Toshiba 7.9k SAS failure, but have an old Dell storage array with 48 2.5" 10k SAS that is at that age drives fail regularly now.

Congratulations guys, keep it up!

But can it run Crysis with 60FPS on 4K?
I can do that with my $2000 gaming PC, but those parts, err who knows how much power there is...
@QuadraNet_Adam Do you offer BGP? I need to start finding peers before I form my ASN :P
