ok, after much thought on DataSheets and Manuals, I decided to invest in WD Red Pro, 2Tbyte!

{ SCSI, SAS, FC } HDDs are more expensive than "consumer-grade" s/ATA drives, and usually used in servers and disk arrays, where s/ATA drives were sold to the "home computer" and "desktop" and near-line storage market and were perceived to be less reliable.

This distinction is now becoming blurred, especially with the WD Red Pro line, which has an immense disk-cache, and I don't like it too much, but this model is the best possible compromise and it's also good for my next NAS.

The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it is conformity. Even a dead fish can go with the flow
