Blehhhhh.... I upgraded 2 of my MicroServers with 5 x 3TB drives each 2 months ago. I should have waited.
The Hindenburg of HDDs, taking with it countless innocent bits and bytes when it crashes and burns...

I take it those are N54Ls? What sort of setup are you running on them? Are they RAID? What sort of parity and useable space do you get?
I'm still considering using one of mine as a NAS, but keep holding off on drives. The WD 4TBs are looking like good value at the moment, if the Miscroserver supports them.
Any news on 2.5" drives that have a capacity greater than 2tb? I’m looking at a ITX server in raid with 2.5" drives which are cooler and significantly less power hungry but can’t find any greater than 2tb?
Just give up on HDD's already. SSD's are already far denser than HDD's, which apart from price used to be their one advantage.
Now, do I risk trying to get 12 of these for the next backup Synology? hmmmm

I wonder how much they will be. a 10tb drive sounds great. the 3.2tb SSD's also sound great. obviously they will initially be expensive but prices will go down through time. considering a 6tb drive is currently £185 inc vat delivered and these are very new to market, if they are going to be in that kind of pricing region upon release (ie. £ per gb) they could do well. instead of having a server with umpteen discs you can have 2 in mirrored raid
hopefully these will bring down the prices of 4-6tb drives....

Performance isn't a problem as there are multiple units at the end of a 1GB WAN link....but without history is pretty hard to make a judgement call on longevity.....still tempting and it's less heat, rackspace, electricity and (probably) cost compared to 2 units with 4TB drives......oh the decisions! And it's more likely my rear-end becomes squeaky!

I think this drive would have been much better in the mid-enterprise market given the quite impressive power savings. I'm sure they must be marketing it to that sector though.
