Actually, large drives like this make perfect sense in RAID arrays. Just make sure your using at least RAID 6 with drives this big - the rebuild times are scary long. I run a mix of 18TB drives in my home server and the key is having a solid backup strategy, not avoiding large drives. No matter the brand, always assume any drive will fail.
