2TB Seagate Pipeline HD any good?

[S0L0]

Looking to set up a 4X Raid of 2TB for media storage and streaming. Does anyone know if Seagate Pipeline HD (ST2000VM002) 2TB SATA 3.0Gb/s 64MB Cache is reliable?

You could have asked all your three questions in one thread! The drive is to new on the market to comment on its own reliability but Seagate reputation is good apart from a firmware flaw with their 7200.11 drives.

I just noticed the HD pipeline is a green drive. I ended up going with the Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB Serial ATA Hard Drive - 2TB, 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA 6Gb/s for 99

That should suite the purpose well.
