Red is for NAS and/or RAID.
AV-GP is for CCTV.
Green is for normal but reduced energy usage.
RE4 is for enterprise usage.
RM200 sounds ridiculous, at least for common HDDs that can be had for less than that. Maybe they're also stealing the data from the HDD? It is possible to extract data from dead HDDs. So dead HDDs that once belonged to a finance department, celebrities or other people of significance could be valuable.
How old is your HDD before it died? The F1 is a pretty old model.
If you need the data on the HDD, please do not send it back to the manufacturer for RMA. The manufacturer will almost certainly give back another HDD, with a different serial number and without your data on it.

For reliability and durability , which one place the top 10 ?

Unfortunately I don't.

And it seems that it is possible to kill a HDD with magnets, but you'll need a really strong one. http://www.technologyreview.com/news/40595...l-a-hard-drive/

So does a speaker satellite magnet will have effect on it ? because I see a lot of people placing their pair satellite speaker beside an external Harddisk WD book

Your data has to be cached to get near SSD speed, for example new video you've just created wont get speed boost.
you have to access the file repeatedly, for example, you are editing it, the firmware inside SSHD will cache the file to SSD.
But the speed wont near pure SSD either, it's lagging behind the SATA 3GB/s speed http://techreport.com/review/25425/seagate...rive-reviewed/7

If you want pure SSD speed, get a SSD.

oh , thanks , but which SSD is reliable ? last time some Crucial no more distributor . Only intel ?

elliot_WD Normally just for external usage plugin to a media player.
I dont how you count by taking care.

If hard disk use for storage like copy file into hard disk once a week 1GB , then put into the cupboard.Looping just like this for backup ?

consider take care ? time on maybe 1-4 hours for a month ?

Nope , I can't run HD tune , there's no smart test or heath tab is totally empty.Try other hard drive is still empty.
