As noted elsewhere one of my WD Red 3TB drives is in need of replacement.
My understanding is that there will be no issues in having different brands of HDD in an array.
On another forum several people have said they are very impressed with Toshiba drives and state that if looking for a 3TB drive I should get a Toshiba DT01ACA300.
I am told this is a rebadged HGST model, and is a 7200 RPM
I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with these drives and any knowledge as to why or why not it would be a good option with FreeNAS?
Pros/Cons vs a WD Red ?
My local prices (Aussie dollars) the Toshiba is $115 compared with $150 for the WD drive - so that's one for the Toshiba
Thanks
