I know this is an old thread, but I had 6, 750G drives in a raid5 linux
software array since March of 2010. Just had 2 of the 6 completely fail,
thank God I had one of them marked as a hot spare. I'll be passing over
any of their green drives from now on.

The array held recordings only, mysql data and the root file system was
on another, separate drive.
