I sent a reply via e-mail to Richard as well; I basically said something along these lines... You missed my point though. It's nothing at all to do with the MTBF, and everything to do with keeping the 48 drives for a series of symmetric arrays. Never mind that you really don't need 1TB drives for the OS ;-) So a nice pair of 73GB or 146GB drives via SAS would be nice. You could do this yourself on a SAS add-on card but it defeats the purpose. I should point out that MTBFs are not reliable on small groupings of disks and a mirrored pair is definitely a small grouping :-) This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
