Some manufacturers make 'special' versions of drives for RAID (WD RE4,
Seagate SE, ...). Apparently the main difference is in error handling,
where normal 'desktop' drives try hard to recover an error (up to
several minutes) while RAID drives give up quickly (few seconds) so that
the RAID controller can take over.
Are there any other known and significant differences?
Is usage of these special drives recommended with Linux md?
Thanks, Danilo
