Looking at a UK end user supplier site the 3tb Green is currently 89.26 (was 98.50) and the Red is 90.98 (was 107.99) so even without discount the price difference is negligible. The one proviso is that supposedly the reds shouldn't have more than 5 in a nas, although I think this is more a marketing factor to sell for use in "small nas boxes" such as home and Small businesses. The RE's are 170.00 (was 214.27) but then again they are a whole different ball game. -- 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
