was part of a RAID0 at first, and most recently was part of an<br>
unstriped LVM volume group. We've still got most of a dozen or so<br>
200GB Caviar Greens still floating around in various roles at the<br>
office. They spent a few years as part of a large RAID5, prior. I have<br>
no real complaints against the caviar line.<br>
<br>
Now, I'll heartily *recommend* Seagate 1.5TB greens; they survived a<br>
RAID5 I put them in for about a year, and are still alive in other<br>
roles. (That same RAID5 set had to undergo at least three rebuilds<br>
because of administrator failure, and of failure of other hardware<br>
components.)<br>
