I was checking Scanner yesterday and noticed that two of the drives in my 10 drive drivepool are quite old at this point.
I have two 8TB Reds in the computer and 8 more drives in a pair of MediaSonic Proboxes which are Reds, Blues and some really old Greens that I didn't catch the parking on until they were up in the 250K+ park count. Those have been running fine ever since I fixed that with wdidle3 tool 8 years ago.
I have a data job that requires a pair of 8 or 10TB drives that I will then put in my drivepool.
Hoping some people here might have recommendations. The last Red I bought was a 4TB I just put in my mom's Tivo Premiere 4 for $89:
WD - Red Plus 4TB Internal SATA NAS Hard Drive for Desktops
Model: WDBAVV0040HNC-WRSN
SKU: 6449002
Use case is streaming movie files
EDIT - have been shopping and researching the past hour - what is the deal with 7200RPM Red drives?
