I'm looking at either the Western Digital 500G RE2 drives or the cheaper 500G SE16 drives. I have read that for use with a hardware raid card, the RE2 drives are more appropriate, and I'm wondering if the same is true for software raid. I am planning to get two drives, and may use the entire drives as RAID1, or I might partition the drives and use most of the partitions in a RAID1 configuration, but leave a few of the partitions without RAID. Suggestions appreciated (even suggestions for another drive I should consider). I do like the 5 year warranty on the RE2 drives and the increased MTBF, as I do have a long history of drive failures...
