A question for you, Silicon:
Have you used the 7200 rpm SAS drives (i.e. the 1TB ones)? Are they any better than the SATA ES ones, as far as reliability? How do they stack up against the 15000rpm SAS drives (reliability wise)?

What kind of controller/HBA are you using? How many drives? What RAID lvl?
I second Robotbeat's question. How are the 7200 SAS drives? Are the 500GB capacity more reliable? That's all I really care about. I mean all my VMs will be on these drives - but I don't want to pay 300 bucks a drive!
