Hi Guys,
Im after a samsung hd204ui which im pretty sure they don't make anymore as one of my NAS drives has gone down and I don't have the $ to replace all four drives. Can anyone help me out as to where I might find a new one at a reasonable price?
Cheers
If you want a solid NAS drive get a WD RED http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&c… $119.
It will be fine working with the other drives. You could have 4 different brands/models and you'd still be fine.
You don't need to have the same make and model for NAS drives. It's not like RAM where it's beneficial to have the same make and model on the same channel but even then it's not always necessary.
That's interesting as the manufacturer of the NAS advised to have all four of the same brands and models.
These days there is almost no reason to do this.
And the manufacturer are always going to make these claims.
That's only so you'll buy their product. ;)
Any particular reason why you need to replace it with the same model?
