RE: Disk Failure

[barsa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

You have the disks in question.  The reason for the difference in capacity
is the penalty for RAID-5 protection.  Should you be worried?  That's up to
you.  I'm not happy, but we're all in the same boat.

Look on the bright side, we could be using a Microsoft product!

Hi,
I have looked at an IBM website that says the 6717's are 8.58GB / 10K rpm.
Are these the disks you refer to ? We have ten in our new (to us) 730.
Should I be worried ?
              Size
 Unit  Type    (M)
    1  6717   8589
    2  6717   7516
    3  6717   8589
    4  6717   7516
    5  6717   7516
    6  6717   7516
    7  6717   7516
    8  6717   7516
    9  6717   7516
   10  6717   7516
