What I have been lately, is building my own with drives
with Rosewill backup cases (RX304-APU3-35B). I populate
them with Western Digital drives. Had one Blue drive
go bad. I have since switched to Red and Black drives
and haven't had an issue.
Cost of a Seagate Ultra Plus Slim is $60.00
Cost of a Rosewill case + WD Red drive is $116.00
Rosewill+WD is almost twice the cost of Seagate. On the other hand
Rosewill+WD stands a good chance of working for a while, but the
Seagate will probably fail soon.
So it looks like I'm building a box.
