How is the WD RE2 WD5000YS?

[fibroptikl]

I'm looking to use 4 of these in a RAID5 for storing my music. Not exactly high-speed. Given my recent RAID failure, I was told to look at the RE2 - mainly cause of the RAID specific enhancements? Are they worth it, compared to the equivalent Seagate?

Thanks.

I am running a single drive and have not had any problems. For your application (streaming music) I really don't think it makes much of a difference. I'd get the cheapest drive with the longest warranty.
