Since that was written, 'A' would now include almost-enterprise drives
with RAID ratings like the Western Digital Red family. And the
recommended timeout for 'C' has drifted upward to 180.
Almost all posts mention WD Reds. It's NOT a recommendation, but seeing
as I've tended to buy Seagate (note my Barracudas) I looked for the
Seagate equivalent. They're called NAS drives, and they cost roughly the
same ... just pointing this out in case people like Seagate or dislike
WD ... :-)
I would prefer a Seagate over a WD, but with my experience lately, I
don't want any more Seagates, either... I switched to Hitachi, but they
don't make low-speed drives anymore, and they are expensive... I wonder
of those Seagate NAS drives are actually anywhere near "reliable"?..
