‘NAS’ rated drives were never really a thing until a few years ago when the marketing gurus decided they can gleam more money from users by segmenting the hard drive market
 
you can use regular consumer grade hard drives no problem, and given the cost difference is quite significant it’s worth it

Whats ironic that 40gb QSFP gear is cheaper then SFP+ and 10G Base T gear because less people know about it and its not as widespread.

In the same way i feel bad for people spending 1k on Titan XP's.
 
Like most things its use case vs money outlay vs personal choice.
 
I spend more time out and about and using my phone then i do my desktop PC so only makes sense to spend my extra cash on something i use more (and holds its resale quite well)
 
And besides, at 1879aud for the 256gb isnt much money when you factor it over 2 years. I spend more on hookers per month.

As above, stick with intel, the killer NICs are pieces of junk. I used to have a 1535 in my Alienware 13 R2 but ditched it for a 8260 because of stability issues.
