I've found 14TB to be a sweet spot from serverpartdeals. $12.78/tb
Resilvering one of those is going to be a multiple day anxiety festival
No joke, with URE rates still at 10^14 bits, you're almost garanteed to hit another error during resilver of these monsters which is why ZFS/RAIDZ is basically mandatory at this point.
