Looking to replace the 250 GB drives in my RAID 5 HTPC array with 1 TB

can get the same performance out of the new drives. I was going to go
with the WD GreenPower line as they seem to be out the longest and
hopefully have had

bundled with the sammy and it apparently is antiquated and messes up
the drive. My response is huh? people still use disk utilities?

Question - when a RAID card says 2 internal ports what are those
used for? Chaining multiple cards together? This one is an example:

but at the bottom it says it has 8 SATA connectors.

I'm currently using an LSI MegaRAID 150-6 and it has served me well
but has a max volume size of 2TB, is PCI-X (and I'm using a mobo

isn't it.
Yeah, when you are talking 1TB of your data this becomes the most
important issue. A drive of this size is difficult to keep backed up

I would tend to agree. The WD 640 has proven to be a really nice,
quiet, cool running, and
reliable drive, so adding a 3rd platter to make a 1 TB drive model
makes sense. :)
I was gonna get 2 of the 640's for a NAS box running Raid 1, but I
might get 2 of the 1 terabyte
models instead.
