I just put together a new PC with a Seagate 7200.8 250 GB SATA hard disk, but I'd like to add a 2nd drive for a Raid 1 array. To hedge my bets a little, I thought I'd go with a different drive maker from Seagate, to lessen the odds that both drives fail at the same time.
I see that WD has a new (?) set of "enterprise" (SATA) hard drives which carry a 5-year warranty (see here for the RE series and here for the RE2).
I'm particularly interested in the RE series 250 GB, to match up with my current 250 gb Seagate. Does anyone have any experience with these drives, pro or con? The only reviews / discussions I've seen have been on the standard desktop hard drives.
Thanks!
Mike
