A word of caution - The Hitachi Deskstar 5K3000 drives in 1TB and 2TB are different than the 3TB. The 1TB and 2TB are manufactured in China, and have a very high failure and DOA rate according to Newegg. The 3TB drives come off the same production line as the Ultrastar 5K3000 in Thailand and may be more reliable. -B -- Brandon High : bh...@freaks.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
