New 1621+ coming in a couple days and I’m trying to figure out which HDD’s to use and which RAID configuration. It’s replacing an old DS412+ with 4x4TB HGST 7200RPM drives. I was initially planning for 8TB drives but the the cost of anything above 6TB has skyrocketed in the last couple weeks. Now I’m contemplating between these 3 Seagate HDD’s:
1.) IronWolf 6TB NAS 7200RPM (ST6000VN0033)
2.) Exos 6TB 7200RPM (ST000NM115)
3.) IronWolf 6TB NAS 5600RPM (ST6000VN001)
This will have 3 main uses - Plex library, VM’s, and docker containers.
I’m not sure which disk to use or which RAID configuration to use. Any guidance would be great. Thanks!
