I'm mulling over purchasing 4 new drives to put into a 4 bay Synology unit, either a DS415 play or DS415+ and can't decide between 3TB or 4TB size.
I've read that if you go higher than 3TB you increase the risk of getting errors in the raid when doing a rebuild which is why most enterprise drives are less than 3TB in size.
I've got a Synology DS412+ unit with 4 Western Digital reds and that has served me well for the past 3 years but rather than buy the DX expansion I think I will get another unit and run them together.
