At this size of storage you probably should consider using a proper storage device and using RAID 6 or RAID 10 (or even 60)
6 x 1TB drive RAID 6 will give you 4TB of storage and you can lose two drives
You may even be better getting a pile of smaller ones to reduce the rebuild time with drive failures - the bigger the drives, the longer the rebuild time, the more stress on the drives, and the higher the chance of a good drive going bad.
So when one of your 4TB drives goes bang, how long will it take to sync to a new one, and what are the chances the original will then decide to throw its hand in as well ?
An alternative if you are running a mirror is to actually run 3 drives. So data is written to all 3 at the same time. If one goes bang you still have a mirror, and the rebuild will be a bit less stressy on the mirror.
I have read similar to the following comment for some time now:
"Since sequential write speeds of hard disks have not increased as fast as the capacity the time to recover from hard disk failure on RAID arrays has become huge. To avoid a large risk to data we need to stop using RAID and move to new data layouts that better protects us from failure of these large disks."
Couldn't agree more, though my guess is the answer from Marketing will be use 'The Cloud' !!!
