I thought it would 45 drives in like a raid 0 array, this is just about vibration of hdds.

Well my 2am laziness is going to win out at the moment, way to long to read.

 

TL;DR This is why NAS grade disks exist. If your using a traditional storage subsystem i.e. RAID, ZFS, BTRFS then use NAS disks. If on the other hand your using something like Ceph and throw away disks/nodes then use any disk like a WD Blue (old green).

 

The reason for using proper NAS disks on traditional storage sub systems is they rely on proper response times and optimized firmware so any glitches of disks in the array can cause array wide issues, something like Ceph is not susceptible to.
