Also, I created a new thread about the differences with 4kn and 512e.  
Logically, it would make sense the performance would be the same.   I 
think it would then depend on which one is cheaper.

thanks,

Geoff

I did have problems with getting sas3ircu and sas3flash utils from LSI page working, but in the end, I had to get an older version (5.00) for it to work (I got it from nexenta github repo).

I know it’s not a long era, but so far so good:) I also have around 180 Seagate Constellation 4TB SATA drives (ST4000NM0033) for over 3 years and only one or two drives died.
