I understand since the Ensemble is essentially a server, an enterprise drive SHOULD be used for replacement. My question is, besides integrity, what would be the difference between using a standard drive? Any drop in performance? If it's nothing other then reliability, I would prefer to stick a standard 2Tb Seagates and then do a full backup to another drive and keep offline in case of failure.
