[Upgrade Help] Changing parity disks from 8 tb to 12 tb

[jondak]

Hello,

 

first of all some information about my setup:

 

2* 8 tb seagate ironwolf parity drives model ST8000VN0022

Controller: Dell Perc H310 SATA / SAS HBA Controller RAID 6Gbps PCIe x8 LSI 9240-8i M1015 flashed in IT mode ( the drivers are compatible Link HGST webcache )

Running Unraid Pro 6.6.2

 

I want to upgrade the 2 parity drives to 12 tb HGST / WD - Ultrastar DC HC520 (He12) without Power Disable Feature

 

What i am uncleared about is the model number to get:

 

1. HUH721212ALE604 - 12 tb 7200 rpm sata 512e SE ( secure erase)

2. HUH721212ALE600 - 12 tb 7200 rpm sata 512e ISE ( instant secure erase)

3. HUH721212ALN600 - 12 tb 7200 rpm sata 4Kn ISE ( instant secure erase)

 

I am leaning towards number 1  but i am intereset to know your input / experience regarding this models in Unraid

 

Cheers.

I have no personal experience of any of them but FWIW Unraid supports both 512e and 4Kn disks.

Was mostly interested about the secure erase function. Any importance about the version of this ?
