Multiple drives of a lower (1-2tb) capacity might be more expensive, but they’d technically be more resistant to a single failure over fewer larger (4tb+) drives when in a pool/array.

    Large drives. 1-2TB are dysproportionally expensive, you need an expensive mainboard to connect a bunch of them. More drives means more failures…
