Hi All,
hoping to find You ALL Well.
While waiting for the new 20 Tbyte WD ultrasatr disks to come out on the market, I saw the price of the 18 Tbyte SATA drop significantly compared to the more modern SAS, in Switzerland the cost difference between these hard disks is marked: the first SATA cost CHF 384 while the SAS other more "modern" cost CHF 559 so for someone like me who wanted to make a RAIDZ3 system with 6 disks the savings using the SATA is considerable : CHF 1050...
The questions therefore are 2, first of all, I can configure a RAIDZ3 system with 6 WD Ultrastar DC HC550 SATA drives ?
And the second, of course, if in your opinion it is really worth it to use SAS when on Tom's Hardware they write that at the end of the count the performance of these is absolutely not significantly faster than SATA.
Thanks in advance !
