Don't get disk with serial nr in sequence

I've heard this before. Usually recommended if you run RAID arrays or other large harddrive pools.

If you were to get drives from the same batch(say 1 and 2), if there is a flaw in one there is likely to be flaws in the other.

You just take your chances. The joys of technology.:(
 
Thats scary, and good advice. I was planning to build a 4-disk RAID5 with Maxtor drives in the near future, and would have probably bought them all at once. Thanks for the info.
