Avoid:

Avoid all WD blacks for NAS servers.

Some of you might have noticed alot of names are repeated that is because some of the models are the same size and name but have higher or lower cache and higher or lower RPM

This is my first time making something like this and it took alot of time and effort.

Inb4 "Seagate fails too often". 

Spoiler

Looks good, but what are your criteria? I ask because some of the disks should be in other tiers.

Fixed it, forgot to add those, im basically putting it storage wise like for example Enterprise is from 8-10 TB

You should also add an "avoid" tier for those disks whose controllers aren't suitable for RAID or 24/7 always-on use.

Can you point out which ones so that i can put them into that tier?

depends on the drives.  I've had way too many WD Red 3TB fail.  How come Seagate Constellation drives aren't in the list?  Or any HGST NAS drives (I know it's owned by WD, but still....)

I can't see any from your current selection. Just making a suggestion in case you add non-NAS drives that work well or won't work in a NAS environment, i.e. Blues will work, but Blacks won't do well thus making them useless for the typical server use.

Holy shit. Are you serious? You list HGST drives as .... ENTRY LEVEL!?? lol. 

 

So, THE BEST Hard Drive manufacture -- and models... are listed as entry level. Seriously? I'm beyond confused.

Not sure if you're being serious or joking.  The manufacturer, alone, isn't what indicates the level.  And I've had to tell many people NEVER use a "Desktop" drive for a NAS.  This is why WD Black should never be used for NAS drives.  They just cannot handle the high and constant use that NAS drives are made to endure.
