Oh, good, someone actually running Reds. How long have you had them, and have you had any issues? I'm not actually worried about RAID - we have a very few servers with RAID 1, and I think they're all software RAID. The big RAIDs, we bought the boxes with drives. We'd be using them for servers, and backups.
Sadly I don't think we have enough of them or long enough to provide any really useful experience. Our servers are generally lightweight systems meant to support custom apps so no hardware raid, all md RAID 1 with a pair of WD Reds on Supermicro X9SCM-F boards. 3 of them and the oldest is only about 2 months old, no problems so far.
