[X4U] X4U Digest, Vol 75, Issue 21

[INFO]

I suggest everyone steer clear of Seagate and look and WD, enterprise RE3 or RE4, or Blacks

Seagate are too unreliable now, WD do have some failures but if you choose the enterprise models, they have a 5 year warranty and work well as they are designed for servers
