So im going to build a 1PB NAS with 63(or so) Toshiba MG09 18TB drives, considering doing RAID-Z3 (ZFS) for reliability and performance. Adding 7 hot spares for failover and using spin-down to extend drive life(sort of, i dont add to my nas that often so using spin down would actually help). Im looking for advice on where to buy new drives and optimizing the setup if needed. I cant seem to find any places that dan sell me the enterprise/cloud-scale drives(since they arnt really consumer drives. Im doing enterprise/cloud-scale cuz its better for what im trying to do and the amount of drives.
