Your arguments are all valid. Our hardware supplier recommended one 
drive type, and we only buy these and really they work very well. For 
the BER, I really hope the controller does read-after-write during 
rebuild. When I see the time it takes to resize an array, I think and 
hope they do it. That said, I've never had a problem on resize, and hope 
it stays like that :-)

There are other reasons to do a resize, which I don't want to discuss in 
public.
