February 15, 201016 yr Although we are debating the performance of this drive in another thread, here is a great price on the new WD EARS 1TB hard drive and in addition you get a free USB SATA dock and free shipping. The drive's partition must be aligned or a significant performance hit will be seen in UNRAID. Still evaluating how best to perform alignment to get updated performance results. Best price I've seen. $79 + Free Shipping COMBO: WD10EARS Western Digital Green 64MB 1TB Advanced Format Drive Rosewill RX-DU101 USB SATA Dock http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.340389 Don't forget 2% cashback from Bing.com

Rajahal - Note the importance of aligning these advanced format drives in unRAID to achieve good performance as we are discussing in this post: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=5076.msg49831#msg49831
February 16, 201016 yr Noted, thanks Gary. Luckily I have tons of spare jumpers laying around. Edit: Got my disk today. First thing I did was to install a jumper onto pins 7 & 8. I then hooked it up to my Win 7 desktop using the included HDD bay, and it all worked perfectly. I haven't added it to my unRAID server yet.
