Hitachi 7K3000 3TB SATA 6.0GBPS RAID-6

Post date: Dec 31, 2011 2:09:20 PM

After testing for time with a few 3TB and not noticing any problems on my 3ware 9750-24i4e, I put together a RAID-6 with 18 disks and one hot spare. So far no bad sectors, plan on using XFS and benchmarking using no partition and a partition (to see how alignment may affect performance) with this card.
