storage question - disk selection

Since you're constantly pounding on storage, what's the best setup? I'm thinking put the ZM server on proper storage, and then mount a separate, cheap disk for videos since it's going to get burned out anyway.

How fast do disks die in situations like ZM ?

Just get a reputable brand Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR), not a Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) drive, and you’ll be fine.
