I intended to initially load it with 24 x 2TB DC P4500, leaving 24 slots empty.</div><div><br></div><div>Now… I've been also offered an Intel chassis with only 24 slots and thus the offer also included the 4TB P4500s. Just without thinking very long, I instinctively wayed towards the 2TB drives, mainly for the reason, that should a drive really fail, I'd have of course a longer resilver at hand, usind 4TB NVMe drives.</div><div><br></div><div>Which ones would you choose?<br><div><br></div></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Stephan</div></div></div></body></html>
