For the price of a 1TB 2.5", I can get at least a 4TB WD Red. I will second Marks comments here. Yes, 2.5" drive enterprise drives have been an issue. +1 for the WD Red drives, so far 3.5" w/ 2tb and 4tb drives, ZERO issues. I've had good luck with HGST NAS drives too. Unfortunately, that will come to an end soon (With WD owning HGST). Regards, Richard
