Next question: you want RAID, how much storage do you need? Will 4 or 8

I will second Marks comments here. Yes, 2.5" drive enterprise drives
have been an issue. +1 for the WD Red drives, so far 3.5" w/ 2tb and 4tb
drives, ZERO issues. I've had good luck with HGST NAS drives too.
Unfortunately, that will come to an end soon (With WD owning HGST).
Most servers can fit only 2.5" disks these days. I keep wondering what
everyone is doing about storage.
Sorry, that depends 100% on what you *order*. We tell our resellers that
we want 3.5" drives, that's what we get. All the vendors, intluding Dell,
and the smaller ones, online you can configure what you want, to price it
out, and they *all* offer 3.5" drives.
The only 2.5" drives that we're ok with getting are the two internal SSD's
for RAID 1 for the o/s, and nothing else.
You may not be talking to the right sales folks.
That only goes when you buy new. Look at what you can get used, and you´ll
see that there´s basically nothing that fits 3.5" drives.
