Seagate was the brand that screwed me first with the industry-wide deletion of ERC support in desktop drives. Hitachi held onto it the longest.

Google the model number along with 'linux-raid' and 'scterc' to see our past experiences with specific drives. -- 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
