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.

In my experience they all behave this way which has been a nightmare on hardware raid controllers. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
