anyone using the 144GB drives?
currently we have DS14s filled with 36GB drives. these are used in a production environment, so of course we need maximum uptime. we're considering getting more DS14s filled with either 72GB or 144GB drives. we want the most bang for the buck, but i have concerns about the 144GB drives. anyone out there have any experience with them?
are the reconstruct times for a 144GB disk proportionally prohibitive when compared to 72GB and 36GB drives? how long does it take to reconstruct a failed 144GB drive on a hot spare compared to 72GB and 36GB disks, under consistent filer workload and raid reconstruct speed?
are there performance issues to consider if we were to go with 144GB rather than 72GB?
any other pros and cons?
thanks in advance, kallen
