Well, I've purchased 5 Barracuda LP 1.5TB. They ran very queit, cool, 5 in a cage and the vibration are nearly zero.
reliability ? Well every HDD is unreliable, every major brand at this time have problems, so go for the best bang for the bucks. In my country Seagate have the best RMA service, with tournaround in about 1 week or so, WD is 3-4 weeks. Samsung have no direct RMA service, Hitachi well have a foot out HDD business IMHO, no attractive product at moment. The enterprise SATA class HDD is a joke, same costructions like the consumers line only longer warranties but with a helfy money premium. If you need of a real enterprise class HDD you want a SAS not a SATA. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
