 Have anyone here used WD drives with LSI controllers (3801/3081/9211)
 with Super Micro machines? Any success stories?

I'm using 4 x WD RE3 1TB drives with a Supermicro X7SB3 mobo with a
builtin LSI 1068E controller and a CSE-SAS-833TQ SAS backplane.

Have run ZFS with both Solaris and FreeBSD without a problem for a
couple years now.  Had one drive go bad, but it was caught early by
running periodic scrubs.

 SAS disks more expensive. Besides, there is no 2Tb SAS 7200 drives on market 
 yet.

Seagate released a 2 TB SAS drive last year.
