Any objections to a 10 x 28TB RAIDZ2 using the "recertified" 28TB Seagate HAMR drives? (ST28000NM000C) 90% read 10% write, data stored files will be very large, sequential read/write data.
Alternatives? I already have two of these as general storage disks in my desktop but I just built my first TrueNAS scale system that has 12 bays (Silverstone RM61-312) and I need to fill the bays!
I have a Asustor lockerstor10 gen 3 with 10 x 24tb Seagate exos drives I purchased at retail and they are in a mdadm btrfs raid 10 which is unnecessary for my use case. It's all I felt comfortable using given my options with Asustor's ADM OS. I plan on reconfiguring the lockerstor as my backup unit for the things I wouldn't want to lose.
I thought about getting 24tb drives to compliment the drives I already have so I can mash everything together in my truenas system and leave a few for the Asustor backup unit. But, the recertified 24tb drives are all quite old now and I have no idea how much use (if any) they have on them or what was wrong with them. I feel like the 28TB recertified drives were either unboxed/returns from OEMS or manufacturer culls of some sort?
Anyone with more knowledge on this? Thanks!
