Currently using X8 HGST 4TB drives that are about to fill up. Never failed on me and they're speedy enough.
Thinking of going 8TB but can't seem to find a recommended 8TB drive by the community.
The cheapest option is this Seagate Archive HDD 8TB SATA III: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1107004-REG/seagate_st8000as0002_archive_hdd_8tb_sata.html
The WD reds and the Seagate NAS options are $70 more expensive- are they worth it?
WD red: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1237919-REG/wd_wd80efzx_8tb_red_5400_rpm.html
Seagate NAS: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1220250-REG/seagate_st8000vn0002_8tb_nas_sata_iii.html
The Seagate NAS has the best specs for what it's worth with sustainable 216MB transfers and 256MB cache.
Any ideas?
