Which 3TB HD for Pro Pioneer
Hi, I am still pondering if/when to upgrade the 6 HDs in my Pro Pioneer, and I checked out the HCL, and there are only a handful of approved 3TB HDs. Hitachi Deskstar 7K3000 HDS723030ALA640 Hi...
A slight bit slower. But unless you are doing something that is really disk intensive and large, you probably wouldn't notice it. I have heard it reported that the 5400RPM drives are about 10% slower than the 7200. When I ran Bonnie on my NVX before and after switching two of my drives to the 5400RPM, the rating went from 110 to 108. That is internal as the throughput to the network is limited by the 32bit processor and generally peaks around 75MB/s. My resync times on disk scrubbing went from 8 hours to 10, but the volume also went from 2.7TB to 4.5TB.
Looking at Newegg, the only 3TB drives on the HCL that they have in stock are the HDS5C3030ALA630 and the WD30EZRS. Amazon does show the HDS723030ALA640 Retail kit 0S03086 for $279 (they are showing 8). The HDS5C3030ALA630 Retail kit 0S03228 is shown on Newegg for $218 (with shipping). They have the WD30EZRS for $257 while Amazon wants $388 and only has 4.
