I've learned not to assume .. I worked on a FC box
that contained Sata's.

The point is, connector doesn't really matter - config + damage effect recovery, connectors and size is only a matter of getting the right gear in...

connection might not matter, but geometry does.
Some, if not all, Fc drives have 520 bytes per sector,
While sata has 512.

Also some FC boxes that use Sata drives, write the full 520 byte
which throws off true sector count.. this doesn't matter to
the controller box, but it confuses the hell outta recovery
programs. then there's the OS overhead that is written
to some of the drives but not all depending on which system it is.

Again, I'd not consider that a major factor, I'd be more interested what the actual array fault was. One faulty disk is hardly a major issue with RAID-5, for example...

@zebong

if I were u, I would look at a good hdd and see how many partitions I can find on it, and that would at least give me an idea of where to start
