December 4, 20232 yr I have an SAS controller that currently has 4 SATA drives hanging off of it. They work well. As I replace drives I'm wondering if it makes sense to replace them with SAS drives. They seem to be faster, more doable, and cost a bit less. I'm seeing 14TB SAS seagate drives brand new for like $175. Would it make sense to go that route?
December 4, 20232 yr Performance should be very similar for NAS use, if the price is better it may be a good option, note that spin down may not work, and you need a plugin to see if it does.
