December 12, 201411 yr I noticed this morning that Seagate have started shipping and 8TB SMR drive for $260 (http://www.engadget.com/2014/12/12/seagate-ships-8tb-shingled-hard-drive/). I could potentially fit my entire current unRaid system onto 2 discs (plus parity), and it's a very attractive price. I'm guessing these wouldn't be great for everyday server systems (traditional raid or lots of data throughput), but what about the write once media servers that a lot of unRaid systems are purposed for? Also, and I guess this could be a stumbling block, would one be advisable for parity?
