[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 1099319, member: 55987"] Your quote 1) It's generally safer to buy from different shops to minimize the risk of getting a bad batch of HDDs. 2) Spreading out your purchases over time can also be beneficial for the same reason. Plus, it gives you time to test each HDD before buying more. Unquote If money permits then option 1 is still better than option 2 since option 2 will require rebuilding, right? After all if during the initial drive formatting too many bad sectors mean the drive needs to RMA to the manufacturer. [/QUOTE]
