Would be interested in I just installed 3 of them, none on LDEV 1 however, so far, im happy with them, they are smokin' fast compared to my 1.3's and my 2.0 drives, I also went with redundant power and fans in my rack even know im not using any other fault tolerant features. The only anomoly that I came across was having to use a pseudo-name when doing the configurations. da' name in da' install manual didn't work, also, a jumper cable was missing from the shipment, the RC helped me out As far as reducing your 'spindle count' from 6 to 4, this can have a negative effect on performance depending on your environment, everything else being equal, more spindles is generally better.
