Everything, all the way to a couple of Seagate 200G drives, even a
pair of 250G WD Caviers. The latter, although the Seagates are by no
means either immune, were not perfect serial# matches in the only
unsuccessful RAID array I've attempted, and may be operational
abominations if not worse. I'll give them a shot at redemption once
more and soon enough: My only two egregious instances of W.D. I can
recall.


Don't give up those sub-500G hard disks. They possibly are a lot more
reliable than these new terabytes hard disks. Try your best to extend
their life maybe.
