The problem with using smaller disk drives is that you still need a hot spare. That makes three slots dedicated to the root volume. I don't know if ONTAP is smart enough to match the size of the spares to the disks in a volume. If it is then you have three slots towards the root volume. In my set up slots are more valuable than the cost or wasted space of bigger disks.
