Re: [QUESTION] Sata RAID

Would you use MD at all, taking in account the disks come from the
same batch and all? I hear these things about MD/RAID being pointless
when you use disks from the same brand/type/batch since they most
likely will break shortly after each other.

Well, for values of "shortly" in months in most cases. These are
consumer goods, I would not expect units with consecutive serial numbers
to fail separated by such a short time that you can't do a backup and/or

I've had them fail within days when using almost identical serial
numbers. Nowdays I just mix disk vendors on each array. End of problem.
