Replacing Nv+ with pro 6?
i first bought an NV+ with 4x 750gb and it worked great, and backed it up to one of the desktop computer boxes. As time went on i ran out of room, and upgraded to a PRO Business with 6x 1tb in raid 6...
im narrowing in on what to do here. Pro 6 with 6 3TB drives should hold me for a few years
the question is which drives. i have been using just enterprise drives up to now, but....there seems to be an argument for the the cheaper consumer versions, and they are listed on the compatibility charts, so im looking at those also. but i have to have something officially supported.
ive narrowed the choices between:
Hitachi Deskstar 7K3000
Seagate Constellation ST33000650NS
they are both on the approved list.
they both have the rotational vibration safeguard, but the hitachi is about $200 and the seagate about $330, 50% adder. Not too bad over the 5 year life of the drive i suppose, but im not sure these days how much reliability improvement i'll get with the enterprise.
any comments?
