Desktop. This is what I've got: Hitachi Deskstar T7K500 (HDT725032VLA360) SAMSUNG SpinPoint T166 series (HD321KJ) Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 family (ST3320620AS)* WDC WD3200AAKS-75VYA0 * the seagate has the infamous 3.AAK firmware. I've almost always used Hitachi or Samsung, although I often "repurpose" drives from friends and I've had quite a few Maxtor and Seagate. The Hitachi does seem to run a bit hotter but it is probably my favorite drive of the bunch. The Samsung is nice and quiet, vibration-free, like the Hitachi and WD. The Seagate vibrates and is the second after the first died within the first few hours. If I were to buy replacement drives, I almost always look at Hitachi and Samsung first. -- Jon -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
