I'm sure many will answer the questions, so for a different

manufacturers, or get ones from different production batches - I was
once on a customer's site where two 'brand-x' drives in a RAID 5 array
went bad within minutes of each other due to a spindle bearing defect
and this took down the array.
Not a bad suggestion.
BTW, were they commodity disks?

It is mathematically impossible for someone who makes more than you
to be anything but richer than you. Any tax rate that penalizes them
will also penalize you similarly (to those below you, and then below
them). Linear algebra, let alone differential calculus or even ele-
mentary concepts of limits, is mutually exclusive with US journalism.
So forget even attempting to explain how tax cuts work. ;->
