My boot/root/home is on one: |
| 11 |
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Then I have a RAID5 for storage made up of five: |
| 14 |
SAMSUNG EcoGreen F3 HD203WI 2TB 5400 RPM |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
So far I've been using it for a year 24/7 with no problems. hdparm is |
| 17 |
able to set them so they never spin down. Otherwise it seems to be |
| 18 |
