Can't speak to that line specifically, however I have nothing but good things to say for the Raptor drives for Enterprise. Used these for RAID0 drives and forensic processing at a previous job. They either worked or they didn't out of the box, and the failure rate was extremely low. Granted you're paying more for 10k RPM, but if you need performance it's worth it- may not be feasible in your situation. For a large, cheap storage solution at my current gig, we went with a large group of 3 TB WD Blue drives and have been happy. IMO something about the Green Intelligent RPM statement (likely 52ish RPM on these) drives make me a little nervous on the performance end. If you're not worried to max performance, maybe this won't be an issue. Just my two cents this early morning ;-) -- Jeremy MountainJohnson Jeremy.MountainJohnson at gmail.com On Wed, Apr 10, 2013 at 2:46 AM, gregrwm <tclug1 at whitleymott.net> wrote: >> I propose we replace the drives ... with Western Digital RE4 (enterprise >> class) 1TB drives.
