There are people who have lost data on Seagates, and so swear they'll never use them again; there are people who have lost data on Hitachis, and so swear they'll never use them again; there are people…. I have a bunch of Seagates that I'm using to clone the internal drive (Seagate) of my iMac for offsite backup purposes. No problems, but only minima use really. Generally get the drive with the longest warranty period: this is usually an indication that the manufacturer is willing to put their money where their mouth is when it comes to longevity claims. Of course WD FASS Black devices come with five year warranties, and that doesn't seem to be helping you much. :) _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
