Hi,
I have just taken a contract at a company for to help with driving some procedure into their IT services to meet their growth demands. As an aside I have picked up on discussions about number of failures of SATA RAID subsystems using Adaptec 2610SA controllers provided by HP (running under various OS). They actually seem to be getting drives failing at an alarming rate and are actually getting occasional file system corruptions when this happens (typically on RAID 5 configurations). I have never encountered hot swap on SATA before and am wondering if anybody knows SATA well and can provide some info about SATA reliability in hot plug environments. -Andy
