The SD's are 100% duty cycle, 24x7, 1M hour MTBF commercial SATA II drives,
whereas the JD's are SATA I with a "desktop" rating and a 'designed for
Microsoft Windows' cert. Why WD would trade a commercial drive for a
desktop drive?
Besides that I've used 3Ware controllers since the 6400 and have had zero
problems with anything. The gui tool is nice but not suited to production use.
