February 8, 201115 yr I have read that drives w/ HPA is a no no. Well I have 2 drives that have has it and one is a data and other is a parity drive. I plan on getting this HITACHI Deskstar 5K3000 drive anyway and replace it as a parity drive. Once that is done then use the other drive as a data drive but the question is that do I still have to go through the hassle to remove the HPA on the ohter 2 "HPA" data drives?

Yes, and preferably before you update to 4.7 or later. Also, if you can not disable HPA in some way on your motherboard you should consider getting a new motherboard.
