tritron Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) What you guys think about using 2.5" 4tb drives with unraid. I just received 25 bay 2.5" hp server DL380 G8 I can get 96tb plus 1tb ssd cache Those 4tb 5400 drives have 128 mb cache https://www.costco.com/Seagate-Backup-Plus-4TB-Portable-Hard-Drive-with-Rescue-Data-Recovery-Services.product.100295697.html https://mattgadient.com/2018/01/27/how-to-shuck-the-seagate-expansion-4tb-portable-stea4000400-and-why/ Edited July 17, 2018 by tritron Quote Link to comment
pwm Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Lots of enterprise servers use 2.5" drives. I also use 2.5" drives in own machines - the media cost is higher/TB but dropping. And the 2.5" disks are less power-hungry. One disadvantage is that there are still fewer 2.5" models to select from. Quote Link to comment
tritron Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 There are 5tb 2.5 hard drive for 119 each in external enclosure. From reading 5tb drive seem much better. st5000lm000 is inside 5tb external slim drive I thinking about getting 24 of those and 1 tb ssd as cache. Quote Link to comment
