I take your point - there are many people here who have gone "off" the HCL, and a lot of them have had good success. I have a couple installed myself. I suspect there are lot of drives that have never been tested. and I expect that many (perhaps even most) will work. It's helpful if folks post drives that worked out ok for them, as long as it is the support implications are clear (which they are in this case).

Pretty much "any" enterprise drive is available at a 5 year warranty price point.

Agreed. Warranty is just a pricing decision anyway - if you raise your price a bit you can give a longer warranty.
