An interesting read. It seems as though Hitachi is the way to go if money is not an issue and WD Red is the way to go if it is.

Funny I just bought 8 Hitachi 4tb coolspin drives for $149.99 a pop, $50 cheaper than WD Reds.

Wow, that is a crazy good deal. Where did you get them from for that price?
