Glad I could help some folk out!
I've been really interested in those Reds myself, but I don't really have enough clients to afford a bad batch, so I'm still waiting on other's experiences, but I probably will in a month or two based on what I've read about them or if clients are interested. Would've bought them for my own RAID if I knew they were coming but ended up expanding with some end of life Hitachi 5K3000's

It's too bad they're discontinuing the line, all of my experiences have been excellent. Luckily I was able to grab some 2TB drives off of J&R (still in stock there), but at $120 each. Wonder why they're dropping the 5400 rpm line and sticking with 7200... I also wonder how much Hitachi tech went into that Red line...
