Hey alers,
My 1.8TB RAID(10) array is close to filling, and I'm looking to buy some
additional drives to extend it. I was thinking that I'd buy a pair of
7200RPM 2TB drives to effectively double my raid size, which should last
me several years at the current usage rate. Anyone have recommendations
for currently-available drives? All else bring equal I'm thinking about
buying this drive:

Has anyone else been in the market for large drives and/or have
opinions?
Thanks!
