So I bought the 6TB WD My Book Pro advertised as coming with 2 WD BLACK 7200 RPM Hard Drives. GREAT! Just what I wanted.
However, Upon opening the enclosure to take a look at the drives...they are NOT WD BLACK drives! They are in fact WD SE ENTERPRISE "data center" drives. WTF!?
Not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing, though. I will be using this ONLY for my video editing rig and being used only as storage for my source footage and assets. Will these give me the performance I am expecting from the BLACK drives? I have had many BLACK drives and they have worked perfectly...but the fact that these are more geared towards data centers, i'm worried that their performance has been compromised to make them more reliable in a 24/7 environment.
Any thoughts? Thanks!
