You may all have 'shared human errors', but i dont have that issue
whatsoever :) I find it quite interesting the issues that you guys
bring up with these drives. All manufactured goods suffer the same
pitfalls of production. Would you say that WD and Seagate are the
front runners or just

So true. I've been using Seagate Barracudas mostly because of their
warranty, and they've been generally good, but we got one server in

This looks like a great config, but I'm trying to avoid having to run a
separate SATA Controller along with any BIOS issues it may have.
Does anyone have experience with some of the gforce 8200 boards mentioned
earlier in this thread, such as the ASUS M3N78-EMH HDMI? At @$90 with 6 SATA
port
This thread really messed me up, posts dont follow a chronological order... so

Use froogle for price checking.
I don't know what chipsets are supported by opensolaris, but if I were you I'd
