Now the #1 consumer RAID drives

Pros: Works reliably in RAID arrays! Fast, quiet, cheap.
Cons: none
Overall Review: I never thought I'd buy another 'Deathstar' drive. Back in the IBM days, I had a couple of drives that had to be frozen in order to retrieve data. I setup a pair of these Hitachi 1TB drives in a RAID 1 on a ICH10R controller. Speed is very good. With the blatant cash-grab efforts of WD and Seagate of disabling TLER to make consumer level drives fail out of RAID arrays, this drive is the new best buy for cheap RAID.

Pros: Small, quiet, 5 SATA, Matrix RAID, no legacy support (PS/2, parallel port)
Cons: Header pins for reset, HDD LED, power switch did not match the quick start document.
Overall Review: Updated the BIOS and installed SBS 2008 x64. Every driver/application Intel lists as Win 7 x64 worked in SBS 2008. Now running as a headless server.
