this video is brought to you by the Corsair obsidian 350d microatx case

00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:11.360
exceptional expansion and cooling flexibility for compact high performance

00:00:08.360 --> 00:00:14.200

00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:20.240
more so welcome to my unboxing and first look at the wdse so this

00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:25.960
is according to Western Digital okay well first oh the unboxing right hold on

00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:28.400
let me here okay so there's a yeah

00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:31.640
there's a bag and normally your drive would come with a sealed bag but I got a

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:35.440
special engineering sample bag so you would be ripping this apart but you can

00:00:33.800 --> 00:00:39.879
see that I clearly didn't have to do that because whatever so then you slide

00:00:37.160 --> 00:00:45.360
it out of the bag which contains of course the all important do not

00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:49.199
eat yeah I get a nice glamour shot of that there we go do not eat and oh yeah

00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:55.760
there's a hard drive in there as well so what's the point of the SE because there's already a NAS drive so we've got

00:00:53.440 --> 00:00:59.399
the red and then the raid Edition the SE sits somewhere in between so it's in

00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:04.400
between in terms of performance it's in between in terms of price it's in

00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:06.840
between in terms of robustness so WD is

00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:11.119
rating it at about three times a consumer grade device in terms of the

00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:14.799
rights per year and they're now rating workload in terms of Rights per year so

00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:20.079
this drive is rated at 180 terabytes per year so it's simple do you need a red an

00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:23.960
SE or an re well do you write more than 180 terabytes per year then I guess you

00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:27.920
better get an re do you write like not that much compared to that about a third

00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:31.560
of that then get something like a wd red also it's validated for more than five

00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:36.640
driv in enclosure whereas the red is limited from about 1 to five is the

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:42.240
recommended from WD range however I mean I personally have run Reds in larger

00:01:39.880 --> 00:01:46.799
configurations they haven't exploded yet but you know of course the vibration

00:01:44.240 --> 00:01:50.600
resistance is is only as good as it is so the SE is much more similar to

00:01:48.759 --> 00:01:54.799
something like an re in terms of how much vibration it gives off and how

00:01:52.960 --> 00:01:59.079
resistant it is to vibration from other drives so this one can scale Beyond five

00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:03.119
drives up to you know 24 drives or even more in larger arrays it's available in

00:02:01.119 --> 00:02:06.719
larger capacity so it's 4 tab and comes with a 5year warranty rather than the

00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:11.120
Consumer grade 3year warranty that something like a wd red has other than

00:02:09.399 --> 00:02:16.120
that I think that's pretty much all there is to say about this drive it's

00:02:12.760 --> 00:02:19.319
SATA 6 you know

00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:21.080
