Cannot replace broken hard drive with LSI HBA

[Graham Allan]

That could certainly be an issue in our case (it's all SATA, which I 
guess at least is better than having it mixed).

Although Supermicro do list some SATA drives as being tested compatible 
with their chassis/expander, for example WD RE - not that we actually 
have RE drives, it's what I would have preferred but we ended up with 
Reds. I will say that I consulted informally with a WD field engineer 
who felt that the Reds should work ok in this situation, and they have 
generally tested quite well. No doubt the SATA RE model may well have 
more solid firmware.
