Hey all.
[snip]
1. What are your suggestions for good HDDs that are compatible with the 926x/928x?
2. Do I really need the 9280-8e? Could I .. 8087-to-8088 adapters?
Thanks!
I've been looking into similar questions / scenarios -
1. It looks like the new(ish) Ultrastar 7K4000 drives do have TLER, and are available in upto 4TB capacities, and from what I read are suitable for RAID use. There are also 2TB and 3TB drives in this range. I assume that the 5K4000 drives would do the same. Supposedly this is a dying breed of drives - SATA + TLER + cheap is going away, probably to be replaced by SAS only + enterprise pricing.
2. Wondering the same - and I'm wondering why there's such a huge upcharge for external ports - anyone else know? I can't find any information about electrical differences between the two, and you can find 2 port brackets for $60 or so, plus the cost of the cables. I'm tempted to go with the 9265 myself.
