My theory is that drives cost $100. When the price is > $100, the drive is manufactured. When the price is < $100, the drive is EOL and the manufacturer is flushing the inventory. Recently, 1.5 TB drives went below $100. So, if you consider avoiding the leading edge by buying EOL product, then it might not sound like such a good idea :-) -- richard _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
