PROMISE EX4650 + 4x WD RE2-GP 1TB
Test Results
What drive would match
best with this entry-level hardware RAID card?
Why not the most power-efficient 1TB drive on earth,
the
WDC 1TB Green Power RAID Edition? That
drive utilizes SATA, not SAS. So we still have
to make good on that one later. But for now,
let's see how FOUR RE2-GP units performed with the
EX4650.
