Our 720 has 16 4Gig drives + 5 8.5Gig drives. They are equally loaded percentage wise. i.e. 76% used. Due to the speed difference between the old 4Gigers and the not so old 8.5Gigers, the smaller drives are being over utilized while the bigger drives have less arm movement. Huh?? Now that the 8.5 & 17Gig drives have the same performance spec's, the 17Gig drives would be worked harder cause they would serve us twice as much data. That is what will bite you. Christopher K.

Philipp, My recollections are different. I don't have a system with different sized drives in the same ASP so I can't check. If I understand what you're describing, then all drives should have the same amount of data measured in GB. My thought is that they would have the same per cent utilization regardless of capacity. Does anyone out there have a reasonably stable system with multiple drive sizes in the same ASP? What are the characteristics of the ASP? Per cent utilization per drive as compared to per cent utilization of the ASP as a whole? Regards, Andy Nolen-Parkhouse
