These *ARE* "commodity" disk lines!!! They come of the _exact_ same lines as their desktop versions -- _exact_ same capacities, density, etc...! The Seagate NL35 _are_ the Seagate Barracuda 7200.8! The Western Digital Caviar RE _are_ the Western Digital Caviar SE! They roll off the _same_ lines! These are _not_ 18, 36, 73 or 146GB "enterprise" capacities, but 100, 160, 200, 250, 300, 320 and even 400GB "commodity" capacities! These are those same leading-edge capacities, at the same fab levels, maybe 1 series removed from the latest (e.g., Seagate now has a Barracuda 7200.9 that go up to 125-133GB/platter, 500GB capacity). You asked me where I got the 400,000 and 1,000,000 hour MTBFs from. I told you no one offers the 400,000 hour MTBF on the desktop devices anymore, but you _could_ find the 1,000,000 hour MTBF number on the new crop of "near-line, 24x7 network managed" commodity disk capacities. > Please either let this thread die (after all, it has been off topic for about > a millenium now) or if you insist on proving your point answer the questions > as they were asked and not with data that contradicts statements you > previously made yourself. Huh?!?!?! What data "contradicts" what I presented before? The vendors have taken their "commodity" capacity drives and offered a new set of 1,000,000 hour MTBF versions that test to higher tolerances. And you pay a premium for them! But they are _not_ the "enterprise" capacity drives with 1,400,000 hour MTBF drives. Those come off entirely different lines! Different platter densities _entirely_! -- Bryan J.
