They are made more for the soho environment, not sure I would even use them there. If its critical enough for RAID environment then I would use the enterprise class drives WD-RE or the Seagate equiv. IIRC they were not even spinning those at 7200rpm, i just pony up for the good ones, and I'm cheap ;)

I see a really good price, and better for quantity, for 3TB drives. Now, I've been down on WD for a couple of years, since I found that they'd protected certain h/d parms from being changed (like TLER). The ones I'm looking at are the Red, which seems to be a new color (at least to me), and one technical review I've read says that they're intended for NAS, etc, and you can adjust those parms. They're *not* supposed to be "enterprise" or server grade, but it sounds like they'd work with RAID.
Anyone know anything about them?
mark, checking before I buy
