Imagine a disk shelf of 24 drives being commented by a pair of sas loops. Youâd want the faster speeds then. Itâs not about individual drives.
Comment on đ„ Best Used SAS Drives? (4TB) đ„
Shdwdrgn@mander.xyz âš5â© âšweeksâ© agoHonestly, are there any HDDs that can really reach 6gb/s speeds? I havenât seen any that could reach 3gb/s. My current array is all running on SATA-2 backplanes, but with 8 drives in the raid it clocks out at 460MB/s sustained (bytes, not bits). Considering my previous NAS could barely reach 70MB/s on a 6-disk array, I was quite pleased with the new setup.

12gbps could be useful if you use port expanders to put dozens of drives on the same port, but without a port expander youâre right you wouldnât saturate the 6gbps channel.
