Some hard-drives are not suitable for raid at all. There |
| 8 |
are many reasons for that, one example is error-recovery. |

In the first place, I would not recommend those "eco" and |
| 14 |
"green" versions for raid at all. They have some saving |
| 15 |
mechanisms which tend to activate at wrong time and cause |
| 16 |
problems for raid-controllers (be it SW or HW). I'd say |
| 17 |
it is worth to pay a few bucks more for enterprise-class |
| 18 |
24/7 (or special "raid-edition") drives. |
