Is there such a thing as a 1TB RAM Server?

And the only consumer/desktop drives approved by LSI/3ware for their raid cards.

Then what's your problem with their 2TB HDDs? have you had a bad experience with them?

I personally have had one for the past two years and it hasn't failed me yet.

Hitachi has been fine but when ibm owned the deskstar line, they all died. all of them.

Its pretty much why ibm sold the brand.

I bought three of these last fall from Newegg and two of them were DOA.

I have bought several cases of these drives so far this year, why do you keep insisting I have a problem with them?

Because you referred to them as deathstars?

And they have been called deathstars since IBM made the brand, do you call everything by it's proper name? Some just have a better ring to it.

E5620 are only 4 cores each and max supported per mobo is 2. So that's 8 cores. 16 threads.
