episiarch Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) For those who are choosing drives for their NAS, RAID, media server, or what have you, have a look at the BackBlaze Blog (they're an online backup company). They really like the Hitachi Deskstar 5K3000 HDS5C3030ALA630 3TB drive -- way lower failure rates than they're seeing with anything else. For those of you who are truly, truly insane, check out that same blog post. It (combined with an earlier post) tells you how to build your own 4U 135TB RAID6 storage server for around $7K.
