So I'm looking to build a RAID array and was wondering how these drives performed?
I was originally looking at throwing together some WD Caviar Blacks... but according to WD the difference in firmware and error recovery procedures can cause the drives to fall of the array.
The price premium for the WD RE3 is a little much for me to swallow.
So does the Hitachi 7k1k suffer from the same issues in RAID as the Caviar black vs. a specialised RAID-only disk?
