Hey folks,
I just bought a TS-451 and I'm really happy so far with the performance and features. I've been using an old Infrant for a while and this blows doors off of that.
Right now I have 4 x 1TB drives installed, but I need more capacity. I'm looking to spend around $100 per drive. I have a ST3000DM001 laying around (unused) that I can build into a set, but I'm not sure if it's the right fit here.
Questions:
What's the downside to mixing different drives types of the same capacity?
Have you seen any great deals on 3TB drives? What should I use as a "Buy" price?
Should I wait for black friday deals? I can wait...it's pretty close. But I'm not sure the deals will be that good.
thoughts on 4TB? Will they be cheap enough this year? $100-$110?
Thanks for the help.

I'm getting 80MB/s with one Nic over my Gbit LAN (home). It's got built in PLEX server and virtualization...lots of neat toys...I'm not sure what I'll end up using, but it's an interesting system.
