I want to play around with openfiler and freenas over Xmas, and I've
been reading tons of 1.5TB and 2TB disk drive reviews tonight. From
what I've gathered so far, the reliability of large capacity drives
sucks and you need to factor this in when picking your RAID levels
(I'm going with RAID6). Amazon currently has 1.5TB drives for $60:

So I'm thinking about picking up a few of these for my project. Anyone
have any thoughts on these drives or any of the other 1.5TB - 2TB
drive manufacturers? Trying to find something that performs reasonably
well and is relatively reliable.
Thanks for any feedback,
