HDD's for my Ultra 4.
I have a RNDU4000.
Need to populate it with 3 2TB Disks.
Why are the Rotational Vibration Safeguard drives more expensive then without?
I am after some energy efficient drives, will be in a RAID5 setup, but i dont want them to be too slow.
Any thoughts on which ones i should look into buying..
Will either of these do? without the vibration safeguard...? not sure of the noise they will make though..
