anything I can get my grubby hands on. Ha!

RE: unRAID server what HD's you use? - Beer40oz - 2012-05-30
Just looked around more and they are all $120.00
Just bought 1 SAMSUNG EcoGreen F4 HD204UI 2TB give it a shot!
Was a little concerned on it because of this thread!

Yes I saw that but its a 7200 RPM drive.... if you take a look. And I heard seagate's 5900 RPM drives require a little more juice and something else.

I have a mix of wd greens and hitachi, haven't had any issues so far.
RE: unRAID server what HD's you use? - KidKiwi - 2012-05-30
I had a mix of WD and Seagate. Over the years, I had more problems with the Seagates and have since swapped them out for WD's (greens). I've been very happy.

I use 6 x Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB (ST2000DL003) in my server which runs 24/7. I bought them for $70 back in September before the great hard drive crisis. I use freenas though and I can imagine ZFS is a little more demanding then anything else.
RE: unRAID server what HD's you use? - spencers - 2012-05-31
I have a mix.
2TB Seagate ST2000DL003
2TB Seagate ST3200542AS
2TB WD Green WD20EARS
2TB Hitachi 5k3000
The hitachi runs the coolest.
RE: unRAID server what HD's you use? - Beer40oz - 2012-05-31
2TB Hitachi 5k3000 5900 RPM are the best!!!! but so expensive this days!!!
RE: unRAID server what HD's you use? - poofyhairguy - 2012-06-01
I won't use Samsung drives or older WD drives (EADS), but I like most of the rest. My official list is in my stickied thread at the top of this forum.
And before anyone asks what my qualification is, let me post a screenshot of my one-of-a-kind mediaserver with 12 different 1.5tb and 2tb hard drive models:
I collect hard drives like some people collect stamps.

Is there a preferred RPM? What's the difference?
RE: unRAID server what HD's you use? - Beer40oz - 2012-06-06
5,400 .... 5,900 if preferred for low state power consumption...
Poofy .... I understand why not use the older EADS.... I have one and it does get a little hotter about 4C more....
I bought the SAMSUNG EcoGreen F4 HD204UI and everything seems doing well.....
Actually the temps are colder on it about 4-6C from my Hitachi and EARS.... witch is a plus....
One thing I noticed on it is that it is a little LOUDER at wake up about 2 seconds....
The other ones I have they are quiet at wake up.....
No big deal.... but say you have tons of this F4's in your rig and are close to the server you are going to hear them pretty loud if they all spin up at the same time.
Ummm now I am debating for the noise wize if I should of gotten the WD WD20EARX even they have bad reviews.... I guess ill just keep the F4 and give it a shot... being too picky.

The EARX is my newest one so I can't completely judge it yet but so far so good. My main problem with Samsungs is I think they underreport temps.
