[Florin22xxl]

Hi guys,
Looking to purchase some HDD for my future NAS,what do you guys recommend?
I can purchase Hitachi 4TB HGST 7K6000 (enterprise editions it has DELL writen on them)for around 120$ (without warranty)
or
WD RED 4TB )5400rpm) (with 3 year warranty) for 135$

Would 7200 benefit my NAS over 5400rpm?
I am looking mosty for file storage and plex server for my NAS.
I already have one Hitachi 4TB HGST 7K6000 without warranty,going strong for 2 years now...

Why would you got with a 4TB when drives are much larger than that?

Because sadly i don't live in the US prices are crazy for the rest of the world,that driver costs 300$ where i live...compared to 250$ of how much i would pay for 2x4TB.Also i'm looking to have 3 drives for the raid i am going with,noowhere near the budged for 3 really big drives..

Remember if using one ethernet port you'll get 100MBps tops so most large 5400rpms will more than saturate that. I always go with a low power option for NAS drives. They just sit there a lot most of the time.

If that 4TB 7K6000 HGST is like the 2TB version, the head seeks will be noisy.
