I’m curious to know what other people are running for HD’s in white

Deskstars. I’m looking at the 1tb models. These will be attached to
an LSI expander in a sc847e2 chassis driven by an LSI 9211-8i HBA.
This system will be used as a large storage array for backups and
archiving.
I wouldn't recommend using desktop drives in a server RAID. They can't
handle the vibrations well that are present in a server. I'd recommend
at least the Seagate Constellation or the Hitachi Ultrastar, though I
haven't tested the Deskstar myself.
I've been using a couple of 1TB Hitachi Ultrastars for about a year with
no problem. I don't think mine are still available, but I expect they
have something equivalent.
The pool is scrubbed 3 times a week which takes nearly 19 hours now, and
hammers the heads quite hard. I keep meaning to reduce the scrub
frequency now it's getting to take so long, but haven't got around to
it. What I really want is pause/resume scrub, and the ability to trigger
the pause/resume from the screensaver (or something similar).
