Hi friends ..
Last night I found one of the Samsung 1.5 TB drives in my homebrew 10TB Freenas unraided server was showing signs of failure ..
I have a few 1TB spinpoints in there which have run reliably for over 2 years..
The 1.5TB Samsung is only 6 months old ..most recently added..and already showing problems.
I dont want to use a raid system as I prefer to backup important data on to blank Hard drives ..and put them in a metal safe.
These days its relatively cost effective to do it this way...but I want to replace drives that fail with 'reliable' ones ...not ones that fail after a few months.
The Freenas server is set to spin down the drives when not in use ..so I can't really blame constant access for the failure.
Recommendations for reliable 1/ 1.5 & 2TB drives would be appreciated.
