I've been using leftover harddisks as BTRFS RAID1 storage, and I'm thinking about replacing them with large disks. Which harddisks would you recommend? Looking at Canada Computers and Newegg, there are lots of new colors and models. -- William

Well for raid setups, I use WD Red drives. For non raid (which isn't very often anymore) I use WD Black or Blue depending on needs of the machine. I don't ever ever ever use Seagate disks anymore. Looking at canada computers, those seem to be about the only brands left (Just a few IBM/HP/HSGT branded disks there). -- Len Sorensen
