Defects tend to happen to all the units in a certain production run. If one goes, the others may go before you can replace & rebuild the first bad drive. I'd still prefer to have all my RAID drives be the same manufacturer + model. Maybe that's just an ingrained habit I picked up in the 1990s. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFwuZQS9HxQb37XmcRAjp7AKDiJH5LbCw0Hhd0TEbBxG4HGxI2TwCcDRjI bJ/psh8oL1ZapkiA9LR0MyY= =40oo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
