I am trying to figure out what drives to purchase for my soon to be created freenas VDEV.
I was originally between WD greens and blues, knowing that greens are now branded as blues? I am still somewhat confused by this. I did plan to figure out just which drives WDIDLE3.exe would work on, but then I figure I should try and check out what other options are out there.
From some quick research, I have found HMS5C4040ALE640 (HGST MagaScale 4TB Coolspin) for a very good price on ebay, and from backblaze, they seem to be very very reliable. Has anyone here had any experience with them?
According to backblaze data, they have a .93% failure rate? That seems phenomenal.
