Received an interesting toy

[Blitzrommel]

HP NetServer LC2000r with six 18.2GB U2W 10k RPM Seagate drives, and a NetRAID-4m card.

My crippled fileserver's got two 120GB WD 7200RPM drives in a RAID-1... So tempting to switch over! What'd ya think guys?

If you put all six of those drives in RAID-5, you MIGHT be able to out transfer your current 120GB drives. Yes they are 10K units, but they are also extremely lacking in dnesity and by extension linear transfer performance. Buffer performance on them will also be a joke. Throw on top of that that they wil be loud, hot, and drive up your power bill, you should stick with your 120GB WD units.
