I wouldn't because you can get a brand new 2T for less than 2x the cash.

thanks man

Remember to take into account the cost of the port.

 

1/8 of a SASLP is $16 or so

 

1/5 or a 5x3 is $20

 

So the total cost of installing a $70 2T drive is $70 + 16 + 20 = $106 = $53/TB

 

And the total cost of installing 2 $44 1T drives is $88 + 32 + 40 = $160 = $80/TB

 

No brainer - go for the 2T drives!
