An anonymous reader writes "Hard drive giant Western Digital recently released a very interesting product, hard drives designed to work in a RAID. The Caviar RE SATA 320 GB is an enterprise level drive without native command queueing and uses an SATA interface. In works better in RAID than other drives because of features like its time-limited error recovery and 32-bit CRC error checking, so it is an option when previously only SCSI drives would be considered."

If they would stop eating around the hard drives, leaving crumbs in them, we wouldn't need to use Raid to take care of the cockroaches in them. Ugh.

I bought one to replace what I thought was a bad drive in a RAID configuration about a year ago.

"Yeah, boss... drive, uh, died. I'll get a nice new one-- let me... uh... take this one home. I think it's, y'know, dead. Honestly this time."
