My girlfriends laptop runs 2x750's in a RAID0 array. Her external backup is a RAID1 array of 2x750GB drives (all 2.5in, 7200RPM) My Desktop is running 4x1TB drives in a RAID10 array. My in-house servers are a hodepodge of Seagates and MDT (refurb company) drives. Those hodpodge collections are running in either LVM's or ZFS array's. Ohh and the GF's *old* 250GB drives from her laptop are 7200RPM 2.5in seagates as well, they are currently being stress tested in a RAID1 array in my Debian system. I've got 2x750GB, 7200RPM, 2.5in drives in another RAID1 ZFS array in my FreeBSD box, minus a loose cable, the drives work flawlessly. P.S. Lately, I've been able to get the 750GB, 7200RPM 2-.5in drives very cheap. 11 drives over the last 6-8mo for approximately $80-$100USD+Shipping. So yea, I personally, would highly recommend Seagate's, either internal or external. Best value for what ever your "buck" is. -- > Chris Brennan > -- > A: Yes. > >Q: Are you sure? > >>A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. > >>>Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? > http://xkcd.com/84/ | http://xkcd.com/149/ | http://xkcd.com/549/ > GPG: D5B20C0C (6741 8EE4 6C7D 11FB 8DA8 9E4A EECD 9A84 D5B2 0C0C) ------------------------------------------------------------------------
