Sorry but even WD is now publicly saying that RE2 can be used in non-RAID. I think I said early on I've used SE16 in Mac Pro, and in RAID. I've had some RE drives as both for over a year too.

Perpendicular isn't old and proven.

Firmware has (to me) been an issue - with Seagate.

No but they are the most common and popular drive out there in Mac Pros. All those RAID controllers add a lot of unknowns but I would be surprised it was the WD RE2 that is really a problem.

Read what TR has to say about the new WD RE2 750.

I don't of anyone compalining or having issues with their RE/RE2. Or SE16s.

Always best to have identical models. Why are you using the older units that had TCQ? rather than newer NCQ and 16MB cache? Raptors have always been slow on read.

I have two Raptors (16MB cache)...

Do you run a RAID mirror? SoftRAID?

It is ATA/33 18MB/sec but it does work.

As far as data corruption, I don't think so.

You can find good 20" LCDs for $300 easily.

You've probably heard the phras, "penny wise and pound foolish"?

People want a free lunch, too ;-)

CDs have become worthless.
They never have current drivers.

The best and sometimes only real way to get a G5 to clean nvram is from Open Firmware.

So now it is up and running and solved!
