Why be so nice, Ed? Dude, your conclusions are a non-sequitor for your
data. Or at least your second conclusion. I do agree with #1.
There is nothing wrong with Hitachi drives in general. The fact that *a*
drive failed is just a fact of life -- it happens. I've had mobos fail,
power supplies fail, monitors fail, video cards fail. Parts fail.
Your issue is the fact that you used RAID-0 instead of RAID-1 or RAID-10;
that was just you being silly. I've had a RAID-10 array of four (now 6,
as of about 6 months ago) Hitachi drives running for over four years now.
I did lose one drive which I replaced late last year, and I now have one
spare drive laying around for the next failure. All hitachi. 30,000
hours and still going.
