Hi all, Just finally got most of the parts I need for my Unraid NAS and I was hoping for a bit of help with the last part, the storage. I am in Australia and am looking to buy 4x16tb hard drives and found some Refurbished WD Ultrastar DC HC550's for ~$320ish AUD but I also saw they had some lightly used Seagate EXOS X18 for $370 AUD. I am hoping you can give me a hand with the decision as I was thinking about getting 2 of each but was wanting to know if the EXOS X18's would need to be modded to stop the 3.3V reset as I have not found anything talking about it and I did not see anything on seagate's spec sheet. So yeah
- Should I get 2 of each to save some money and also get a few drives that would last longer?
2.1 Does the Seagate EXOS X18 16TB ST16000NM000J have the power disable (PWDIS) feature?
2.2 If it does have this feature how should I deal with it?
- Has anyone used Neology before? if so how was the experience?
Thank you for your time.
