Just picked up a used dell poweredge server with 14 drive bays. Planning on using unraid to mess around but wondered which drive I should get. Is the obvious choice still the WD/hitachi drives?

Planning on getting the recertified ones from serverpartdeals.

WD/Hitachi vs Segate.

Also while I'm on the subject of unraid is 128gb enough for NAS, Plex and some dockers?
 
Buy whatever HD you can buy at least one for cold storage, when buying used. Have 2 parity drives if you can. 128 is more than enough for that unless running all resource hog dockers and even then

Yea Ill do 2 parity drives. Building this to try out different things because I am starting to hit some of the limits with my Qnap setup.
