I bought 4 of these a couple of weeks ago. :) Oh well. One thing I noticed is that the stuff they have great deals on, are the same that have high failure rates in the feedback and show some have had a DOA rate of about 50%. So far so good with mine, but it's too early to know for sure. I'm running format-analyze-read in a loop and it's taking a very long time. Mine are in a USB enclosure, and the default was to create a ashift=9, so I ran the special version of the zpool command to force ashift=12. So far so good, but hopefully they'll last more than a year. _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
