This way I reduce the chance of a simultaneous failure, like we had at the BLU last year where all of our drives were the same MFR and lot #. Actually, somehow Fedora partitioner set up /dev/sda1 to end not on a cylinder boundary. I was unable to set up /dev/sdc1 exactly the same. If I start from scratch, they will be the same exact size.
