Still have good quality older sata hardware raid cards that require 512 bytes/sector. As far as I know HD manufacturers are not making native 512 bytes/sector drives any more.
Some have better 512e emulation than others. Looking for some advice on which to avoid and which are recommended. Thanks. PS this is for a CentOS6 server.
any of the 'enterprise' nearline storage or NAS drives should be fine. I wouldn't use anything else in a RAID setup.
Seagate NS series, for instance, or WD Red or Re, etc.
