ST8000DM004 with TS-932X?

Post by RobAinscough »

I'm looking to replace my 5 WD Red NAS 4TB drives with 5 Seagate 8TB drives (ST8000DM004).

These Seagate drives are NOT listed as "NAS" but I think a drive that rotates slower at 5400 RPM would actually be a better candidate for NAS units (lower rotation = less heat and less power load). The bottle neck is going to be my CAT6 1G anyway ... it's a RAID 5 configuration.

Thoughts?

Cheers, Rob.
