Hey all,

I am in need of replacing a faulty 4tb drive in my SAS NAS.

It needs to be a 4tb SAS drive.

There are many good deals on ebay for used 4tb drives.

What should I get to eventually replace all 6 of my 4tb SAS drives?

My Current Drives:

X477_SMEGX04TA07

ST4000NM0023

ST4000NM0023

ST4000NM0023 (faulty)

ST4000NM0023

X477_SMEGX04TA07

I’m currently debating between getting

Seagate 4TB 7.2K SAS 6Gb ST4000NM0023 Constellation ES.3 NetApp 108-00315-A0

or

Seagate Enterprise 4TB 7.2K 12G 3.5" SAS HDD ST4000NM0025 1V4207-037

or

Is there better 4tb SAS drives than segate? (HGST, WD, Toshiba, Dell)?

(Assuming SAME price for 4tb SAS drive)

Thoughts?

Thanks for the help!

(I should probably order a replacement asap…)

Edit: the for all the replies. So y’all agree Seagate is the best option ?

    I think I might have one I can’t use. Might be 2 TB.

    I bought it as an experiment to use with my NAS, but my SAS card is running in SATA mode and won’t recognize it with an adapter.

    If you or someone wants to have me ship it to you (you pay postage and send me the pdf for the label) PM me.
