Has anyone used these Samsung Echogreen drives in a hardware raid?
I thought I remember seeing people on these forums using these without any form of tler or modification, although I can't find it now.
I know everyone has had generally good results with them for pure storage, although I'm a bit concerned with the smart data from the 2 that I got yesterday. HDD Health reports the drive health at 61% on both drives, and they are new. My WD 1TB drive that is about 1.5 years old still shows at 100%,
What do you guys think?

i think maybe its the spin up time, as the value for the WD is only 8000, and its been in use for 1.5 years.. 12000 for a new drive seems high..
