Hi,

I use 3ware 9550SXU-8LP in RAID 10 with Desktop Drives - Hitachi 500Gb. Could you please recommend a suitable model server disks that work well with this controller, if anyone has please share practice. The current array of points is reset controller, I want to change discs. Please direct any tips.

Thanks in advance.
 
Western Digital RE-series of drives work well with 3Ware controllers. We've used RE2 and RE3 drives up to 500 GB with great success. We've also used Seagate ES.2 drives without issues. These are all expensive drives, though.

If you just want bulk storage, then pick up some 1 TB drives online (only $74 CDN at CDW), configure them as "Single Drive" arrays on the controller, and put ZFS on top. Then you don't need the expensive "RAID edition" drives.
