I'll second the WD Red there are two 2TB ones in my array and not a reallocated sector between them! I'm none too impressed with the Toshiba I'm trying the array though, it works and it's fast but it's building up a lot of reallocated sectors (460 so far) good sectors seem to be staying good though the weekly scrub never has to do anything. The other drives are Samsung Spinpoints still going strong - pity they sold out to Seagate. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith <steve@sohara.org>
