What's the best 2 TB drive for around $80 to be used in an eight disk RAID-Z2 array?
I've been told that 4k drives don't work well with ZFS so I'd like something with the regular 512 byte sectors. (and not 4k with 512 byte emulation)
Anyways - I'm looking at buying eight of these:
Hitachi Deskstar 5k3000 2 TB
Are these 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM? Are they "eco" drives? (Surprisingly I can't seem to find any information on that...)
Anybody have any other suggestions? This is only going to be used for a home fileserver box.
