December 3, 201312 yr i just found out that WD has came out with 4TB red. correction for my above post which I say there isn't 4TB for red. Just so you know, not only has the 4TB Red been out for quite a while, but the 5TB WD Red is due out within a month

December 4, 201312 yr but the 4TB seems to have loading unloading issue which cause premature death... Just ordered some tonight myself. What loading unloading issue? I know the greens had a head auto parking problem for some people but I never had that problem myself and I didn't adjust anything on them (my 2TB greens) either.

Does. But it could also be a user problem in that they have their software configured to scan the drives too frequently. I know a lot of people use to say the same of the green drives and would change the idle settings as the first thing they did. I left mine completely alone and except for a refurb'd drive that WD sent me on an RMA I never had LCCs over the 10s of thousands on any of the drives. My power on hours were usually the same as or half again greater than the LCC count. With my 2TB and 3TB WD Reds my power on hours are 2 to 3 times the LCC count. Will watch my just ordered 4TB WD Reds just in case however.
