With the cost of SSD's dropping is that the main focus of HDD platter based drives now, NAS and bulk storage?
Yup. HDDs can't compete with SSDs on speed, but trounce them on cost per gigabyte.Quote:

I can see it now .... 24hrs to copy off the data and then it dies a month later .. ARGH! Cost almost £1000 to get them in raid too!
Pretty sure you'd want these to be RAID-6 / Z2 at least. The rebuild/resilvering times would be (I'm guessing) immense.
You'd be right. I had to replace a dead drive on my homemade 16x3TB Z2 array.Quote:

We're seeing a bit of a spike currently but the trend over the long term is still downwards :)Quote:
