Been there,
wasted $$$, now I only buy one type of
validated, extremely
reliable enterprise-grade disk from Hitachi. :-)
Seagate and Western
Digital both have have serious Q/C problems recently with
their drives,
and WD especially makes drives that will fail or function
very poorly in
enterprise hardware, all in the interest of being
"green". Ugh.
Would you post a link to the model number you like?
Thanks! :)

Hitachi P/N 0F10311 (2TB 7200RPM). They are somewhat hard to find now,
but I have never had one fail once it was in service. The only failure I
had was a DOA drive, it failed as soon as it was plugged in, and it may
have been dropped in shipment.
