(like a backup system) If you were planning on a raid-6, how about a mirror for this drive? I believe it is not a good choice for a general raid, but if you're only writing *NEW* stuff for the most part, and streaming big files to disk, how about these new WD shingled disks (Purples, I believe). This sounds like one of the few use cases where they might be a good idea. Worth considering, at least. Might even work well in your planned raid-6 config.
