Looking for a good cost to performance ratio. I'd like to use the cheapest option for HDD's on the market currently (so far I have been looking at SAS 12GB/s and Sata 6GB/s 6 and 8 TB drives and the 6 across the board seems to be the best cost wise. Any recommendations on this?

I also want to run a server. Said serrver will host plex, I may buy a firewalla to go with it so no VM router. I would like to run about 4-6 6TB drives in this enclosure to start, hopefully start with a minimum of 24TB of storage then add in my current 10TB.

Any recommendations on server and cost efficient drives for said server? Are 3.5" drives my most cost effective option?

As a Frame of reference log to AMAZON and find out what the price is there.

Then, Google in general the hardware that you found on Amazon, and it might be that you would find it elsewhere for lower price.


:cool:
