July 10, 20169 yr Hi all, I am in the process of building first unraid box with a Q25 case. I am looking to either buy 6tb WD RED's or 8TB WD RED's. I have had some bad experience over the years with Seagate and personally avoiding them. Even though the 8TB Seagate is a very good price. 6TB are cheaper but price per GB for 8TB is cheaper.. Just wondering on thoughts and thinking from longevity go the 8TB so can leverage the space as long as I can Thoughts?
July 10, 20169 yr I make it a point to not buy anything less than the highest available (reasonably priced) HDD whenever I buy one. You may save a bit now but then you will have to buy more in the future so it's not really a saving.
July 10, 20169 yr Considering the per GB is lower on the larger, it is pretty easy choice. In the past the two did not align normally.
