As we are in the business of designing, servicing, repairing RAIDS (among
other things) in enterprise level mission critical settings, Bruce is
somewhat right in that a disk is a disk, but the Drive Electronics melded on
the face of the platter vary in how much heat, activity and use one can get
out of them, and if the mfr. specifically states "not a good choice in a
RAID situation" I'd heed the mfr's advice...
