X-RAID upgrading from 2 drives to 4
If I had an NV+ with two drives (400GB each) in X-RAID configuration and I wanted to replace them with say, 4x1TB units, are my calculations below correct for each step in the process?: At start, 2...
Right, resurrecting this thread because the floods in Thailand put the kibosh on my plan to split my purchase of hard drives between batches.
I went ahead and bought two Samsung F4 2TB drives at the end of last year, with the aim of buying another couple in a few months' time to reduce the likelihood of a bad batch affecting all four of my units. Unfortunately not only did HDD prices skyrocket shortly after, but Samsung has ceased production of this model (did they get re-branded by Seagate for a while? I lost track of that story).
So my question is this: Can anybody suggest good alternatives to pair with my two F4s? I paid something in the region of £50 each last year - I imagine I'm not going to get that level of bang per buck this year. The options available to me will help me decide whether to wait a bit longer for prices to stabilise, or to take the hit and buy some more expensive units in order to get up and running again.
Suggestions welcome!
