Getting waaaay off topic here, but what model of drive is that?  Is
it the "NL35" by chance?  I built 1.1TB RAID5 array using 4x400 GB
Western Digital "RE2" drives.  Both the Seagate NL35 and the WD RE2
are the "enterprise class nearline storage" drives.  But the WD's
were considerably cheaper.  We'll see...
