Seagate "Archive" HDDs are not meant for running programs, just backups and storage. Seagate External HDDs usually have Archive drives in them at the 8TB level.
WD MyBook usually contains "Red" NAS drives in them and are good, if you want the best price on a drive meant for an enclosure, buy the WD MyBook externals and shuck them.
Note: Shucking external drives voids the warranty! I don't personally care, I don't use drive warranties, but be aware of this. If you do care, then buy the internal drives, but they do cost more.
If you want the best performance at the best price today on an internal drive, buy this @Amazon amzn.to/2wJ74tS - That is a Seagate IronWolf 7,200 RPM "normal" HDD for $259 at the time I posted this video. It is, however, $80 more expensive than the 8TB Seagate Externals with the Archive drive in them.

*NOTE* - A number of people have asked why I don't just use a NAS... NAS, or Networked Attached Storage is fine for some uses, but it also has drawbacks... First, it is much slower than locally attached storage. Second, it isn't as easy to manage as local storage via Storage Spaces. Third, it is expensive to backup, FAR more expensive than this. Remember that a backup isn't a backup unless it is off-site, how do you backup 20TB of storage online for a reasonable price from a NAS? There is a time and a place for it, I imagine I'll end up there one day, but for now, this makes far more sense for me...

I would reconsider your argument in the name of Unraid. NAS is as fast as your network connection, even with 10Gb (see LTT). My unraid machine pegs gigabit, and has room to spare. This is about as fast as I can imagine needing for 99% of use cases. Built for WAY less than $350 or even $250. It also has parity and I can use different sized drives (you could literally combine the storage of ALL of your HDD's minus 1 x 8TB parity)! Plus combining all in one place with parity and cache (with a single cache drive as well or even multi-disk striped SSD cache if you want serious speed) and using shares, virtual machines, etc it's all transparent to the end user. It's a really great solution. You can also remove drives and the data stored on them is readable. Definitely worth researching, I have been a happy Unraid user for a long time! You can also use it to serve plex, webservers, etc. I'd even consider it for your new build as a hypervisor and use virtual machine for rendering. Edit: You also speak of drive data movement and Unraid has a solution for moving data from one drive to another for retiring drives and replacing with larger drives (see unBALANCE) and also you can fill drives in your preferred order and only split folders as you desire by folder or by disk. Last note backblaze can be easily used via second virtual machine and shares and could be used to back up your most important files or shares offsite or even locally to another USB drive when plugged in. Fundamentally for your use case I believe Unraid would be a much better solution. Worth a look for sure.

It is VERY important to note that the 8TB Seagate Archive drives typically found in the Expansion and Backup external enclosures use SMR technology which is VERY slow for random writes. Sequential writes are another thing, but this can mean the difference between a 12 hour backup and a 5 day backup.

@ChisameLee 7 жыл бұрын

I usually don't comment on videos, but I've had this external enclosure for a few years and I'd just like to point out that the 2 8cm fans on the back are proprietary slim fans using thin threaded non standard screws and 2 pin DC connectors. You need those fan grills in the back or the slim screws just go right through the fan holes. Standard 8cm fans will not work, the stock fans are pretty loud and will fail, you can either reoil them every couple months, or jerry rig the 3 pin Coolermaster 80mm "Standard fan" 80*80*15mm into it. There is another case that is 10 bays, individual power switches and locks for each bay, hot swappable, 14cm fan and atx power supply called the CyberSLIM S810-U3S in the Asia Pacific, or the Century HDD Ten Box II [CRST1035EU3S6G] on Amazon Japan for what converts to around 300ish USD I am not aware of the name this box goes by state side though.

After all that hard work of trying to pry the drive out of the enclosure, you had my heart in my throat when you banged the drive on your hand in an attempt to remove it from the half opened enclosure. Nice long detailed video. Thanks for posting it. I'm actually in the market for an external drive enclosure for some drives in a JBOD configuration to use with Drive Bender to pool the drives. I already have 5 drives of varying capacities each in my existing pool of 12 TB (more than half filled up now) in my Windows "NAS" tower and no more room to add any new drives internally if I start to run out of storage capacity in the future.

I have an old Medea 4 units videodrive laying around as ornament. It’s ultra wide scsi and it’s got only 320gb spanned across 4 IDE drives. I’ve been having troubles putting additional drives to my trusty hp z600, it has only two 3.5 slots and two 5.25 external, that’s where I currently have 3 stacked disks just laying around. I thought of buying a drive cage for them, but it costs the same as your enclosure. Now I’ve just discovered I can mount them on my old Medea external raid enclosure, use molex to sata power adapters and a long sata cable for 4 drives directly attached from the motherboard to the disks on te enclosure. To bad I didn’t keep that old 16 disks big external raid from stone+wire I thrashed 15 years ago...

And because I am much more curious than that might be healthy for a person. I can see you doing that work, some would call it paranoid to test out the hardware first extensively before actually putting 'critical' data on it but this is exactly how you ought to think when you advice companies how to do these things. I own the same drive, I love to see how you get it open and what it looks like inside.

I'm sure you know this, but in case you don't running raid 5 on 8 TB drives is a waste of drives. If a drive fails rebuilding the array will fail more times than not due to error rates per TB of storage. It's just not recommended anymore to run raid 5 on large drives. Raid 6 is also pushing limits at 8 TB, and 10 TB is even worse. It sucks but it's just the way it is with large capacity drives.

I recently had a crashed hard drive. In retrospect this was the first sign: Windows booted half the times and half the time it got stuck before starting up. With another failed drive I experienced hanging of the GUI when attempting to load a folder. Here a golden tip, guys. If you notice anything suspicious with your hard drive, don't put any critical data on it any more. Especially make a backup of any critical data on internal drives, external drives should remain fine as long as you use them incidentally and you don't drop those or give shock in another way. Don't count on it though. Internal drives however will break someday, guaranteed! It is mechanical after all, where you have a mechanical device you have friction, where you have friction you destroy material and get a lot of heat which doesn't help either in the case of a mechanical drive.

it'll be interesting to see how the archive drives hold up.

The shucked Seagate archive drives have been ok so far. Failures happen when drives >90% utilized. A combination of passive cooling and side effects of SMR? I've switched to the wd red drives. Haven't seen a problem with them either internally or externally.

I recognise that you have stated that performance of the DAS is not an issue but have you considered the time it would take to write to the Parity Array which would be at between 30-50 MB/s ? Also are you using tiered storage to manage the Write Back Cache ? You have also said you use Backblaze as a backup, as the folder struture is different wont you need to back up the DAS again and how long would you anticipate that this would take ? More than 30 days ? so at the time of loading your existing backups will have been deleted from Backblaze ?

Hi Tech Deals, Interesting video, thanks. Got me to be interested in the 8tb Seagate externals. If possible could you do an update in 2018-19 just to let us know about reliability of the drives, any issues and noise levels? Nothing that takes tons of time or deep in-depth - just enough to let us know how the units are doing. I'm interested too how the 8Tb Seagate Backup Plus Hub compares to the 8Tb Seagate Expansion, and compares to the 8Tb WD Mybook for use as backup, archive and 'put away in a safe place' storage. Thanks for your consideration. Pete

I hope you still like your Mediasonic H82-SU3S2 because I just ordered one. I do video editing storage, too.

Hello there, thanks for the video, it's very informative. I'm starting to build my RAID storage myself, and I'm wondering if you had a hard drive failed so far?, Thanks

Noticed that NVidia doesn't have the GTX 1050 listed on the registration page when I tried to register my new one. Wonder what's going on with that. Also no registration card in box.. and it was brand new sealed box from newegg. God is good to me and mine!

Being just the average user I obviously don't need anything like this for back up(I don't even back up, that's how important my data is, If I somehow got a wirus I'd just wipe drive and reinstall) but say I wanted the storage(for...research...) could I use it without Storage Spaces? would Windows see it as 8 drives or 1 large drive?

If it gets unplugged on accident, will all the drives fail?

Why didn't you tell us what the USB limit was on your X99 MoBo - you spoke 'about it' a lot but why on earth didn't you tell us the NUMBER of USBs that the limit is? Is it a secret? Wouldn't have taken 5 seconds and would have been very useful and interesting info!?
