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 ....

The underlying tech in the 8 TB archival drives (SMR) is more vulnerable to vibration than other technologies. That might limit their application in a NAS.
I'm not sure why Seagate specified a work load (or if their warranty requires you to not exceed the workload ceiling of 180 TB/yr). Other datasheets I've looked at don't mention work loads.
