I was concerned since we've been using Reds in our newer servers.

However, the conclusion of that thread seems to put that particular
issue firmly on an odd incompatibility with the Asrock motherboard
used and the WD Red drives. One of the posters pointed out he has 12
Reds on a single Adaptec.

Somebody suggests possibly an issue with 6 drives being spread over 2
different controllers. I couldn't help wonder if it's just a Windows
driver thing.
