[OmniOS-discuss] supermicro 3U all-in one storage system

[Geoff Nordli]

I have had really good luck with the Seagate drives as well.

I see you are running the ST4000NM0034, any reason why you didn't go 
with the  ST4000NM0014 which is 4Kn?

thanks,

Geoff

I did have problems with getting sas3ircu and sas3flash utils from LSI page working, but in the end, I had to get an older version (5.00) for it to work (I got it from nexenta github repo).

I know it’s not a long era, but so far so good:) I also have around 180 Seagate Constellation 4TB SATA drives (ST4000NM0033) for over 3 years and only one or two drives died.
