12x 1TB HDDs? Disappointing.
Upgrade to 12x 14TB drives.

@Syntaxvgm be careful which external drives you get. A few of the Seagate ones use their 8TB "Backup" drives which are SMR drives (ie. crap). Sometimes the same model external drive will have different drives inside as well. I'm not sure about WD but I assume it's the same.

@Spotty I know that, I'm going for specific WD ones (easystore and a couple of others) Reds or white label reds, I'm not ever putting shingle storage in there. When I originally bought the drives I have currently, segate had good drives and the 3TB ones I bought were slightly after the Taiwan flood late 2011 early 2012, which turns out they were rush models and terrible. Since gotten better ones, but wow.
And I've had a lot of problems with reds in the past too (the 5TB ones were awful), but the 8TB ones are good.
