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 ?


Imagine a disk shelf of 24 drives being connected by a pair of sas loops. You’d want the faster speeds then. It’s not about individual drives.
