Some of the Deskstars are qualified to run in a raid configuration, but not all. The E7K1000 is, but the 7K1000, 7K1000.B, 7K1000.C and 7K2000 are not. Curiously, many of the drives are recommended for "video editing arrays", and the 7K2000 and A7K2000 share the same specifications, including vibration tolerance. The only difference appears to be the warranty and error rate. I would not suggest using consumer drives from WD or Seagate for a large array. Recent versions no longer support enabling TLER or ERC. To the best of my knowledge, Samsung and Hitachi drives all support CCTL, which is yet another name for the same thing. -B -- Brandon High : bh...@freaks.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
