That hard drive you linked to on pcmall.com appears to be a SAS, or Serial Attached SCSI, drive. Make sure your hard drive controller is designed to use SAS if you get this (or any other) SAS drive. Most SAS controllers can run SATA hard drives, but I don't think the hard drives themselves are backwards compatible with SATA controllers.
Looking closer at Seagate's site, I see they offer 6GBps SAS and 3GBps SATA model on this drive. Also, if you're going to use a specific RAID enclosure or NAS, make sure that the drive you are interested in is on the compatibility list for your device. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Dickson [mailto:[email protected]] To: NT System Admin Issues [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wed, 24 Mar 2010 15:25:46 -0700 Subject: RE: Any good One tb or higher raid class stata disks?? > http://www.pcmall.com/p/Seagate-Hard-Drives/product~dpno~8055503~pdp.gaiceea > > This is a Seagate Drive that is supposed to be an Enterprise Drive. > Here is the link on that drive. > > http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/servers/constellation/constellation_es/ > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Sunday, March 21, 2010 8:24 PM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: RE: Any good One tb or higher raid class stata disks?? > > do you know were I could get them, I need either 6 X 1.5 tb or higher > drives. > thanks > > On Wed, 24 Mar 2010, Mike Gill wrote: > > > I buy Seagate ES.2's.
