i dont trust Seagate anymore , not going back , bought seagate barracuda LP 2tb x4 , WD green x1 , Samsung x1 , within 2 year die 2 , 3rd year all die , WD , and Samsung die too , now all 2tb die , switch to WD red x4 , WD purple x2 .

this is really sad all 2tb cannot survive long time

actually the whole rack is my cpu case because limited space in my cpu case , i extend into my rack , nobody walk there move/shake the whole rack , the rack is very heavy,firm , usually i put together into a enclosure . i extend the sata using SFF 8088 cable. so there is no way to fail unless the harddisk not good enough , i choose WD Red because WD disable the drive head parking unlike normal Low power harddisk .

bought before GST only rm470 each at viewnet , rm50 cheap gigabit network 6port for share with other network pc

if you want to setup a php , mysql , etc , you should build a custom NAS , freeNAS operating system is a good choice , base on freeBSD , you should able to host a webserver or database easilly .
