Interesting. Unfortunately, those benchmarks are more oriented toward SSDs which would be great if I could afford them in a NAS. Samsung has a 4TB SSD for just $1,500.
I found another benchmark that is more oriented to NAS drives. The WD Blacks lead the parade. And the Reds are right there with the HGST. What I noticed on their new Red drives is that while it's still 5,400 RPM, it seems like they're added more cache, pushing up the benchmarks. Of course, if you need 8 of them, price becomes a factor along with reliability and warranty.
