My OmniOS/napp-it server has dropped a drive (and looks like a second is on the way out, reallocated sector count appears to be rising), and like an idiot, I never ordered up any spares when I set the thing up - they're currently all Seagate Constellation CS 3TB disks, but that disk is EOL, and I can only get hold of it for >twice what it's worth, and on backorder.
I figured I'd swap it out for an HGST Deskstar NAS 3TB, but I'm not sure if that'll work. I figure it'll need to be either exactly the same sector count or higher... but how can I tell? Nobody seems to publish sector count data these days. Are all modern type drives of the same stated capacity interchangeable, or is this still a potential minefield?
