WD Red vs Pro vs Seagate Ironwolf vs EXOS

LaughingHyena

Basically what the title says. I am building a NAS for personal use, 1 computer backup, at least for now. I am planning 4x4TB drives in Raid 10, and I am not sure which one I should get. Budget is not a super big issue, but I would prefer if each drive was below $200 USD. Other than that, is one better than the other? I have no experience with these drives, so any insight would be appreciated.

 

EDIT: My current plans for build at the moment minus the drives:

Can Anybody Link A Virtual Machine while I go download some RAM?
