INDEX.md

Abstract

Looking for a pair of HDDs to use in RAID configuration for backing up valuable data, and to use in budget home theatre/streaming server build that will remain on 24/7. Hope that they will last 5-10+ years.

Minimum Requirements:

  • Internal 3.5" or 2.5" HDD
  • $80-100 total cost (both drives)
  • 1.0 TB
  • 7200 rpm
  • SATA 6.0GB/s?
  • 64 MB Cache?

Additional Questions:

  • Refurbished?
  • Enterprise?
  • Lifespan?
