    nicolaidenmark reacted to Jarsky in WD Ultrastar HC550 (WUH721818ALE6L4) - not good for a NAS RAID?   
    So to break down that drive WUH721818ALE6L4
     
    W = Western Digital
    U = UltraStar
    H = Helium
    72 = 7200rpm
    18 = Max Capacity in this range (18TB)
    18 = This specific model (18TB)
    A = 1st Generation
    L = 26.1mm height
    E6 = 512e SATA
    L4 = SE (No Encryption)
     
     
    So its a 512e SE SATA drive, should be just fine despite not being in the compatibility list

    But lags IP rating. A flat screen, IP68 with a good camera would be great.

    So, I have two HGST Deskstar NAS with 10 TBs each running SHR-1 in a 4 bay NAS (DS918+). I now have less than 3 TB free.
     
    Based on speed and reliability, which disks should I get?
     
    14 TB disks are expensive and since, I'm running SHR-1, a 14 TB would be the new raid disk due to its larger capacity. In other words, I would get 10 TB extra but would be paying for 14 TB. On the other hand, the next time I would get the full 14 off the next disk. It's expensive, however, would maybe save me from getting the extension bay. What do I go for?
     
    Do I get WD Ultra, WD Red Pro? Heard much bad about Seagate so prefer to stay away from those.
     
    I use my NAS as a Lossless 1080 and 2160P MKV Plex server, music library (lossless flac files) and Photo library (DSLR RAW photos and thinking about getting a Nikon D850 which is putting out 100 MB RAW Files due to its 45 MP sensor).
