Fascinating to hear that classic Caviar winding spinup sound in 7200 RPM flavor. Clearly the same series of Sankyo motor. I had no clue they could reliably spool up to such speeds, as I'm so used to hearing them run at 5200. Were these as reliable as the drives from before '96, or did they have the problems from '97?

What a cool drive! Not everyday you find a drive made on Christmas day!
My brain had trouble processing that 7200 RPM frequency with the whine of an old Caviar. Reminds me a bit of a late Quantum Fireball with that tone.
This drive sounds great! Happy to see you own it!

I thought these would have a longer seektest of the usual Caviar drives
Looks like a fancy Caviar, which I suppose it is!
7200RPM SCSI Classic Caviar!
The sound is almost the same with WD400BB-00CFC0
Drives based Caviar 22100, with 7200rpm and SCSI interface
It's not based on the 22100, it's based on something else
Are the WD Caiver 22100's really unreliable ?
@@Kali_Krause i dunno but Win Disk has said it was based on the Caviar 31600, same actuator and all like that
@@Kali_Krause no, the caviar 22100 is a very reliable model.
WD really wanted to take the proven Caviar design and slap it onto their first enterprise-class drives 🙂
Plus it would lower R&D costs too.
Spindown sounds like an old Soviet jet engine spooling down 😅
