I am going for the 15tb instead of that 14 so I have extra space for backups. Says no body. We are clearly close to the end of spinning rust, absent some new breakthrough.
In every aspect, except price.
Samsung 1 TB SSD for 150€, Seagate 8 TB for 220€.

If I can choose between stuffing 6x15TB or 6x14TB at comparable cost into my NAS, I'd buy the 6x15TB ones.
It's an SMR drive. So better for archiving than regular IO
That way they can be useful for more than archival.

Be aware this is an SMR drive, so your writes are going to be heavily limited.

In fact at one point I made the mistake of enabling SSD caching on a NAS. The SSD became the bottleneck because of the limitation of SATA, ie one SSD on SATA is slower than 8 or 10 HD in RAID5. So unless you really need very high iops, HD are likely to be good enough.
Will we hit a point where the size of the drive is simply too big to get the data off in any decent amount of time?
