I recently just shucked the new revised version of the WD 14TB easystore and as far as I can tell it is a helium filled drive and runs at 7200 RPM, which will make for a great addition to my Unraid NAS array. We will talk about the cache size later on, so scroll down if you want those details now.

We picked up one of these drives at $120 USD and plan to use it as a cache drive for our Unraid server. If this thing performs well enough we will get 3 more and create a RAID 10 cache pool. The SK Hynix P31 would work great for a FreeNAS, TrueNAS, or Unraid cache drive.
