Hi fellow OcUK'ers, need some advice please.

I need a RAID5 NAS and have been looking at a Synology DS409 but I need recommendations for the best SATA-II hard drives to use.

I cannot affored RAID level drives so I was thinking of the Samsung 1.5TB eco drive. Has anyone got some of these in a RAID array?

I've heard that the Western Digital greenpower drives are no good in external NAS boxes because of a problem with load cycle count?
