One surprising feature of "enterprise" class drives is that they often have a faster fail than their consumer class counterparts. the idea being an enterprise class drive will be found in a drive array, and the array will be much happier with a hard fast final failure than a drive that tries to limp along. While the consumer with their single drive is a lot happier when their failing drive gives them every chance to get the data off.
- themoonisachees 3y agoOften times you'll find that consumer drives that are limping around do fail smart checks and would absolutely flash a red light and send out a monitoring alert were they in an enterprise enclosure. While there is probably truth to what you're saying, I think the enterprise is also just way more proactive at testing drives and calling them dead the instant the smart checks fail, where consumers don't typically use crystaldiskinfo.
