8TB drives in pro 6?
I'd like to get two 8TB drives and shove them in my Pro 6 running OS6... any reason why I couldn't? I can get two for $279 a piece from newegg business: http://www.neweggbusiness.com/product/p ....
StephenB,
I will do so (just crossing my fingers they work in the enclosure, not sure why they wouldn't but who knows.) Right now I run ST4000DM001's in the unit and they only technically have a MTBF of like 2400 hours. On my oldest one I have over 10K hours on it without much of an issue. If they fail they at least have a warranty.
CharlesR,
I bought all 6 4TB drives I've got from external enclosures. I keep them in a safe place numbered so they match up with the drive should I need to send it in for warranty purposes. Have done this with numerous seagate and western digital drives (oddly enough you can buy external drives with the exact same specs for cheaper than the stand alone bare drive.)
