Can I just ask a question here as I am about to buy 8 x 750gb WD drives for my RAID5 array. Do I need to buy the RE drives or can I simply buy the normal desktop drive and enable TLER? I assume I can get some 750gb drives that aren't the stupid GP?

Hi guys whats a good server motherboard for Dual Opteron 2214s? Im looking to spend ~$300 for a server grade mobo. With a nice amount of ram slots. PCI-X slot would be beneficial as i have a Highpoint rocketraid 2220, but its not that big a deal I could always swap to a 2320.

What size are your raptors? are you running them off the motherboard or off the controller card? same question with your OS drives.

What was the reasoning behind getting the GP versions over the regular?
