[ale] [OT] spec'ing drives for a NAS

[simontek at gmail.com]

Do not use a 5900rpm drive with a nas. Honestly, do not use green drives for NAS. It you have them raided together,  the green drives being variable to not sync, and will fail. I have seen half the drives in a 20 drive setup fail in 6 months cause of that.

I am looking at drives for a home NAS and there are options for 5900rpm 
versus 7200rpm, sata 2 vs 3 and cache size.

My intuition is that none of this matters, by the time you transfer the 
data across the network any differences will disappear.

Agree? Disagree?
