Killer_B Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Getting an N54L at some point this week, then it's just a matter of supplying the drives. I was thinking of either Reds or Seagates, though I suppose I could go half of each too...Does that seem to be a decent choice? Quote Link to comment
garycase Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Yes, either is a good choice. I wouldn't mix them, however => just pick the one you want to use and go with it. I've used both and they're both excellent. The Seagate NAS units run slightly faster than the WD Reds, but both have sustained data rates well above the transfer rate of a Gb network, so the slight speed difference doesn't matter. Both have been VERY reliable. Quote Link to comment
garycase Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 FYI, if I was going to build a new array in the near future, I'd wait a few weeks and see if WD releases the 5TB Reds that were originally due last month. Quote Link to comment
