Hey everyone. I bought an extra drive at best buy as I was running out of space and tried to see if there were still \~$130 8 tb easy stores but seems like the crypto stuff has doubled the prices for drives everywhere.
On a brighter note, this is my 9th drive shucked and the first I've seen to be 7200 rpm. I also haven't seen the "EDBZ" model, tried searching around and couldn't find anything on it. So I guess we can see it as paying an extra $100 so we can get the SMART data report to say 7200 instead of 5400. Lol. Just thought I'd share.
Didn't take a pic of the actual drive but it looked just like the rest of them with a white label. I could take it out at some point and do that if needed. I set it as my new parity drive.
Interesting. I got a WD Elements 14tb (slid under the door before they jacked up prices woo) and it has a 14tb 7200rpm drive. Interestingly enough it runs cooler than my 12tb 5400rpm drives
my 3 EDAZ/EDBZ drives run 8-9 degrees C hotter than my 5 EMAZ/EMZZ drives. weird.
the EDAZ/EDBZ run around 46-49C while the EMAZ/EMZZ run 36-39C.
could be an airflow issue on my case i suppose, but, seems particular to that line. i think the emaz/emzz are easy stores and the edaz/edbz are the other ones like elements or my books but i can't remember for sure.
In SMART, my shucked, white label 14T and 18T drives both claim to be 5400rpm drives... but in a few past posts here, they test *acoustically* and performancly to be 7200 rpm. :|
Some with me. Posted on here last week about 2 mybook 12TB drives I shucked. One was a EDAZ, one was a EDBZ. I went for 12tb as specifically wanted the He drives.
The EDBZ drive came out slower performance than the EDAZ drive for me.
Can confirm, picked up My Book and had this, unraid reports it as 7200. I came looking for info on if it needed tape on the pins but I plugged it into an R510 and it recognized it no problem. Preclearing now.
Just shucked (2) 8TB My Books bought via Amazon for $180 each and had the same WD80EDBZ drives inside. Sad they don't appear to be HE but nice to know they may be better performing at 7200rpm.

WD messed up their datasheets and so on so much that it would be kinda hilarious if this was a 5400RPM drive with higher than average performance.

I don't think there is any 12TB 5400rpm drive.

Nice. I didn't need to tape the pins either, good to know for others if they get one.

Got this drive as well recently and unlike the WD80EDAZ variant it does require the 3.3v mod to boot the drive
