I am running out of space on my R710, I have had a R510 with the 12 3x5" bays on standby for a while to build into a new NAS.
I'll probably go bare metal Freenas and a 10x Disk Raid Z2 setup.
For those disks.
Would you think 10x 14TB WD Reds would be best when they are on sale for $~200 each or 10x of the WD 14TB DC HC530 Data Center Drives?
I shy away from 7200RPM normally for the reduced heat/noise and power. However in this situation the power difference is very small (less than 3w per drive) and both of them are very efficient due to the Helium and data density.
I might still have more heat/noise to deal with, so the main reason I am considering the HC530's is because they are also cheap ($240ish) and are supposed to be much more durable with enterprise grade endurance.
Since I want my NAS to last as long as humanly possible I am wondering if in this situation the trade offs are worth it, and of course I might get more speed. I do usually install 10gb NIC's on my servers so I can break that 1gb bottleneck that most people have with their NAS.
Feedback? Concerns?
