Is that a good idea? I mean having all of that storage on one component? Wouldn't it be safer to split that data onto separate drives?
Actually, large drives like this make perfect sense in RAID arrays. Just make sure your using at least RAID 6 with drives this big - the rebuild times are scary long. I run a mix of 18TB drives in my home server and the key is having a solid backup strategy, not avoiding large drives. No matter the brand, always assume any drive will fail.
Probably a good candidate for drive shucking. Can get a good, potentially enterprise grade, hard drive for cheaper than the drive alone would cost. Then stick it into a NAS.
Ahh, yeah I see what you're saying.
