Afaik they are about equal in speed. With the smaller ones being a bit
faster in random access and the larger ones a bit faster for sequential
reads/writes.
My guess is that the 8x 2.5" configuration will be faster than the 6x
3.5", even if the 3.5"-drives happen to be faster they probably aren't
50% faster... So since you don't need the larger storage capacities that
3.5" offer, I'd go with the 8x 2.5"-setup.
