I guess it depends on whether or not you class the various "Raid
Edition" drives as "consumer"? :-)

My one concern with these RE drives is that because they will return
errors early rather than retry is that they may fault when a "normal"
consumer drive would have returned the data eventually. If the pool is
already degraded due to a bad device, that could mean faulting the
entire pool.

Are there *any* consumer drives that don't respond for a long time
trying to recover from an error? In my experience they all behave this
way which has been a nightmare on hardware raid controllers.
