I have two servers with 16 IBM 120gigs each, and they mostly work. One disk
went boom the other day, but that's expected - I mean - one out of 32 drives
in half a year isn't that bad
The choice between 5,4 and 7,2 is to be taken on behalf of the seek time
needed. seek times on 5,4 drives are substantially slower...
