At this point in the thread you're seeking hand holding, not knowledge acquisition, or you simply like to chat. This list is not intended to be that type of resource. That's what web forums are for. > Any takes on the Hitachis? There are hundreds of drive models suitable for RAID use. Each manufacturer clearly identifies in their documentation which of their drives fit the bill. There really is no reason you should need to ask on this list if drives from a particular manufacturer are suitable. If you're seeking consumer drives with ERC/TLER due to cost reasons, that'= s not a technical issue, but a dollars issue, and not on topic here. We understand this is your first RAID system, but at some point you hav= e to remove the training wheels from your bike.
