Ultrastar DC HC320 - 8TB

[Convict]

Hello,

Im thinking of buying the 8TB SATA Model and put it in a 3-way Mirroring. In any case , i dont want it to be Helium filled and SMR.

Does anyone has experience with this specific drive? Any tip , what should avoid ?
Price Tag i can get them ~220€ each.

Thank you.

Did you pull the trigger on these drives?

I'm thinking of doing using the same ones in my new build.

haven't bought them yet.

And the second big question remaining..

4Kn or 512e physical sector size ?

What would you recommend just for storage , videos, photos and nothing more.

Thank you..!
