I'm have a RAID6 with 6 x 1GB Western Digital Blacks (WDCWD1001FALS0) on
a Dell-branded PERC 6/i PCI-e card that supports up to eight devices, as
well as a RAID5 with a 4-port PCIx 3ware card (SATA1) that has 4 x cheap
500GB drives. (The latter machine is off and not near me, so I can't
check!)
As I recall, rebuilds on the latter array take 3-6 hours, and 6-9 on the
former. It's a rare occurrence, so I don't don't fully remember. I
don't know the TLER status (nor capability) of the drives.
