Thanks, I guess that's a yes. I've read the review on storagereview and they are pretty positive about these drives. I'm pretty sure now what brand my next HD purchase will be.

Oh, and while I'm asking : you say that you run those drives in a RAID5 array. How do you run them? In software or with a controller card? I'd like to run them with a controller card, but the bandwidth of a normal PCI card (133 mb/s) will not be sufficient. Since I don't have a server board with 64-bit PCI (PXI-X) slots, it seems that I have no other choice than to wait for the first PCI Express RAID cards which will be out be the end of the year, I reckon.

Also, how much free space do you have with four 160 gig drives in a RAID5 array?

Thanks!
