[QUOTE="Larry, post: 795422, member: 785"] In my opinion, for home use: Cheap easy to replace disks in a redundant array, if paranoid use RAID 6 or 10, as performance isn't' a requirement R6 practical. Brand is of little consequence these days. Buy spares upfront if practical. My guys at work manage massive arrays, and even at enterprise level we have have a mix of manufactures despite what the pretty branding on the drive rail says. We've even had vendors on site to replace bad batches of drives, poor guy arrives with a huge box of disks, replaces one, awaits rebuild, replaces the next, awaits rebuild etc.... In short, depending on which way the wind is blowing that day you might or might not have shit with chosen brand/model of disk. Worth keeping up to date with disk firmware, an often overlooked part of home setups. [/QUOTE]
