I'm looking at either 2x ST4000VN000 or 2x ST4000DM000 for starter drives in my first unRAID box. (1 for parity, the other as one of a few data drives, the others to be scavenged from existing drives)
I understand the NAS drive has "special things that make it better". But it's also significantly more expensive. Are the differences significant enough in an unRAID system?
I've read that the main bottleneck is the network - which I can understand, and will remain so for one of the systems primary users will be over wifi. So are the difference performance related, or reliability? If so is it enough to warrant the extra $$$?
