From what I understand, the green drives were created mostly for external
drive use where speed is not an issue. I would think the WD Black drives
would work better for a RAID system. As for a fix, I am not sure.

FYI,



I've not proven this quantitatively yet, but I'm thinking that the reason
I'm dropping a RAID array on a winbox is due to the use of green drives in
the matrix. Since they spin up and down the controller may not be
detecting
this correctly and marking them as failed.



Anyone else had a change to deal with this issue?
