Seagate 8TB Archive disks
Posted: Wed Jul 22, 2015 1:05 pm
Hi
I am considering building a backup RaidZ2 from 6-8 8TB Seagate Archive HDDs. I have read the Storage Review article that demonstrates the performance issues and discusses the use cases, so I am comfortable with that.
Has anyone else experimented with these drives for backup or archiving? Besides setting ashift=12, I can't think of any other special concerns, other than performance issues.
