I’ve been buying seagate ironwolf only drives for my NAS but I’ve been wondering if it’s really worth it given that it’s a small server sitting in a corner and these drives are getting more and more expensive. What are your thoughts? Do you only go with NAS drives or anything really does the trick assuming I have a good backup strategy?
I use WD Blues with a mix of Reds for my unraid system for the past 3 years now. Haven’t had any issue as of yet with any of my drives. Knock on wood thou.
