Hi,

i have noticed the firmware is different:

Hi,
I have had the same problem.. had the flu formatted my friends HD, the drive i formatted was actually mine, where i deleted the partition and reformatted the drive again unknownly deleted 12TB( man was i pissed off).
Rule of theumb when formatting a drive do not do it, when your sick...
Currently i have 8 hitachi's 5k3000.
1 of the drives, after 2 months of use, in the last 3 days has come up with an sector repair error on the hd.
Not happy..
Safe to say nearly all the drive are the same, no one manufacturer is perfect.

i might buy 1 or 3 to see how i go..
thanks

Hi,
I went to my local pc shop only to discover they only have sata 3 hd's in stock.
i currently have 9650SE24ML raid card, was wondering if the drives would be compatible?
What about other raid cards Adaptec/accrea/Highpoint would these be able to use sata 3 drives?
Thanks for your help...
