I have to enter 100 characters. Seems unnecessary. With a max of 3430 characters left. Well, I was in need of two 300GB 15K SAS drives to run in a RAID 0. I will be running ESXi 5.0 with two virtual machines. I have been doing some experimenting with various operating systems and security as in compromising passwords and exploiting flaws. The work I do is usually for my own learning experience. This is just the newest adventure since I have built an entire home network with Cisco and CSB products. I have certainly surpassed 100 characters so this concludes my review.
I know they are older now, but you just can't beat the transfer rates and uptimes for these drives. In a large storage NAS or DAS they use very little overhead and again the trasfer rates are outstanding.
These drives are a great price and quality (new!) for the HP XW8600 workstations. While HP has mounted a slider frame to the drive to allow the drive to be hot swapped in their storage arrays, it is trivial to remove the 4 torx screws, then mount the drive in the xw8600 plastic sliders, and then into the workstation.

Great for small RAID use if you have a SAS capable controller. Very quiet (after start-up) for a 15K RPM drive. Brought new life to my older HP workstation.
