Re: hardware recommendation

A lot of people look to

https://www.backblaze.com/b2/hard-drive-test-data.html

as a source for disk stats.  Under 1TB HDs are getting rare as they tend 
to be replaced by SSDs at that size. If your size is really 500GB, 
perhaps a pair of SSDs mirrored will get you better reliability.  Not 
sure of your use case however.
