I am sure andrewbedia will gladly not give me anymore suggestions and everyone will be happy.įor anyone else who is willing to accept the baseline I established in the first post, I am more than open about suggestions.Ĭlick to expand.Respectfully I have to disagree just a wee bit with that. No, why should I thank someone for something I didn't ask for?Īnyway, there's no point in arguing about this back and forth though and that was my little 'screw xmas' rant. At least I didn't get entitled comments along the lines of 'you should have shown some gratitude' or similar shit. That's where I usually lose it when I keep getting suggestions about stuff that clearly falls outside of what is being asked.

I am looking for upgrade possibilities and yes, I have no idea what the possibilities are, BUT I know pretty well what the base parameters should be. I now pretty well what SATA, NVMe, SSD and a HDD is. Where you got I don't know about this topic I don't know.

I agree the NVMe drive suggestion wasn't absolutely useless because I didn't clearly state I didn't have any M.2/NVMe slots available in the server (otherwise that SSD wouldn't be bad at all). That should be an indicator of 2TB already being a compromise, the lowest capacity I can go to or whatever. Another indicator would be the fact I am currently using 4TB disks. If I ask about 2TB drives, there is a reason why I specifically mention such capacity.

So the TL DR is: is there say 2TB SATA SSD that doesn't cost an arm and a leg when buying three of them? Obviously everyone's arm has different worth, but since this is a segment I never paid attention at, I am pretty much lost and getting some ideas is probably faster than starting a research from scratch.Įdit: or should I just, when the time comes, 'upgrade' to the WD Red Pro line.Īt the very least the suggestion about completely different capacity drive was more useless than useless. I wouldn't mind buying 2nd hand if such drive was reliable model without tons of data written to it.

I don't write too much data to the thing, it's just a home NAS where I store daily backups of three PCs plus various pirated audiovisual stuff, so the endurance rating wouldn't have to be something server-grade like. rather than raw speed (important, but not a priority). Obviously I'd be looking at SATA drives and the speed wouldn't matter all that much as long as they are faster than HDDs I am after faster access times etc. Now I don't really know what large capacity SSDs cost besides A LOT, but quick look at the pool usage showed me I could get away with 2TB drives (RAIDz1) if I cut down on the amount of downloaded films and other questionable content. Lately I've been thinking about what to replace them with when their time comes, and started considering SSDs. Actually one of them already failed about a year ago and I had to replace it. They are all about three years old (possibly longer) and running nonstop, I feel like they might be pushing their lifespan somewhat soon. I have a simple three disk setup running virtualized TrueNAS with the basic 4TB WD Red disks (EFRX, replaced by EFZX this year larger cache and supposedly a tiny bit faster).
