1 TB SAS HP MB1000FAMYU

[voidcom]

Would anyone know where to find more detailed specifications for the HDD mentioned in the subject line?

What I would like to know in particular:

When where these drives manufactured (year)?

How do they compare to typcial 1 TB SATA drives regarding noise and vibration?

I'm planning to use 4 such drives in a Mac Pro with a SATA/SAS controller (Areca 1212) and have good offer.

Thanks!

I was not able to find any appropriate technical info regarding the drive, but just listenting to it, it seems to operate just as quiet as any other 1 TB SATA drive. It also does not produce any unusual vibration or access noise. I was reading somewhere that HP does not produce HDD's, so the drive might actually be Seagate. Disk benchmarks show it's average performance is 135 MB/s, which is 20 % better than my fastest SATA. Btw, the SAS drive will fit into the existing drive slots of a Mac Pro, but you need to install a SAS controller, such as the Apple RAID card or other 3rd party vendor.
