I just posted my Raptors on Ebay since I'm tired of the RAID issues and I really need some HD space! I've been looking at the Seagate 750 and 1TB 32mb Cache drives but notice there are two different ones. ES and AS. What is the difference between the two cause the specs to me look exactly the same. I only what Seagate so no other HD recommendations needed. Thank you.

For what ever it's worth, check out this deal on a Seagate if you're looking at them!

I guess you gave me an early preview, I just received mine this morning. I think I'm gonna go with a 750Gb cause the cost of 1TB drives doesn't add up when your only getting 250GB more.

Difference is one probably has a 3yr warranty, while the other has 5yr.

Thats true it could mean ones set for raid as well. WD's set that way and they let you know this without f ing around trying to find out.
