4TB drive recommendations
I currently have 2 x ReadyNAS Pro Business edition units each with 6 x 2TB Hitachi drives and they have been rock solid for several years. One of them however started off life with Western Digital 2TB...
I'm running 6 4TB ST4000DM000-1F2168 drives with no problems in my Pro 6.
Gets a daily beating with crashplan, time machine backups from multiple computers (around 10) and constant file transfers (lots of little files that end up getting compressed into one rar file to make it easier to backup to crashplan.)
I bought all of my drives for under $120... I just picked up new external hard drives, ripped them out of their external enclosure and now I have a bunch of adapters as well. Much cheaper than the bare-bone 4TB drives as well (why I do not know?)
