Using WD RE drives in MogileFS

Yo all,

Currently all of the HDs I've been using for MogileFS have been 
"whatever was on the floor", and we finally ran out of the floor model.

WD RE 250G drives are pretty speedy, high MBTF, decent drives overall 
from my experience. They do have that nasty bit where they can 
potentially give temporary IO errors.

They're also the cheapest 250G drives I can get in bulk right now :( 
Would they be a safe bet to use with MogileFS, or would the potential 
for corruption be too much evil?

Thanks,
-Dormando
