I'm looking into a Synology DS412+ and I can't decide which drives to get.
Enterprise drives seem more appealing due to the higher MTBF, and performance.
But some performance drives offer SATA3, now the caveat is that almost all enterprise drives don't have SATA3, is it even necessary? Do the SATA2 controllers on rotational drives even get fully saturated?
Also I've decided to avoid "green" drives due to some potential issues with the enclosure and the power saving techniques of the "green" drives.
I'm only looking at 1TB drives due to cost and lower seek times, does anyone have any suggestions?
These are some of the drives I was looking into:
Western Digital RE4 WD1003FBYX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB C...
Western Digital Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 R...
