Hard Drives for an R710

[Jason Smith]

I just got an off lease R710 which has an 8-Slot 2.5" drive bay. Is there an equivalent of the WD red's that come in the 2.5 form factor? What would be my best bet in terms of price/reliability to use on this server? I was going to grab 4 250GB SSDs for my VMs and regular drives to store ISO's/shares.

There is a WD Green or Samsung Spinpoint in 2tb.
