Hello ! I have a custom build NAS currently using 4x6TB hard drives in RAID10. I am looking for a capacity upgrade. My main focus are low power consumption and low noise (the NAS is in my living room / home office).
I can’t seem to find any 5400RPM HDD over 8TB in capacity anywhere. Is there any model with 10, 12 or more TB in existence ? If not, what could be the reasons ?
Anecdotal, but mine (a 4TB one) is running fine (knocks on wood) for 5+ years now. It’s in my server and doesn’t spin down. Low power usage as well. Very happy with it…
