12G SAS versions in case there is anything else, 1.6tb in size.

Anybody have any comments which they prefer ?
Application could benefit from lower power and heat.

HGST is solid with heat sink, Toshiba I thought was a 7mm and spacer but is indeed 15mm like the HGST but with a nice open cooling channel.

Both are 3DWPD class (which is more than needed anyway) and both are good performing, more so the HGST based on specs though.
