The EADS is a great drive for its age and that is reflected in its resale value. These still hold their worth after 8 years in the field. Yes, 8 years is a long time for a drive but it's not possible to get a decent quality drive otherwise these days, and as far as finding a new drive that's not Advanced Format -- good luck. It's probably not suitable for a primary system drive as it likes to run at reduced RPMs. On the other hand this is what makes it quiet and cool running as opposed to a 7200 RPM drive. These are good old "legacy" 512 byte sector drives and they'll work on anything. No diddling with Advanced Format alignment software, no problems with multiple partitions, no wondering whether it will work with this version of Windows. The bits are bigger in the EADS than they are in newer drives. That is literally true. The EADS has three platters rather than the later two platter and single platter drives. Thus the bits are physically bigger on the platters and the data reliability is correspondingly increased. The SMART data from WD drives seems to be more detailed than from Seagate drives, and at least in my opinion more truthful as well. These EADS drives replaced 750 GB Seagate drives that the SMART claimed was perfectly fine, but were still throwing CRC read errors. It's WD for me from here on out as far as I'm concerned.Read full review

After 10 years of service, my PC's original hard drive was failing. I replaced it with a similar WD10EADS 1TB drive and did a clean install of Windows 10. Back in action, better than ever.
