Firstly i know raid 0 isn't redundant but everything is back up so i do not care if it fails, Now currently i have 3 x 2tb WD green drives in raid 0 with a 1tb ssd cache. Now its working a treat but i feel as if my time with these drives are numbered since they are not build for this. So i'm looking at my best options.

CPU - I9 10900 | CPU Cooler - Corsair Hydro Series H100x AIO | Motherboard -  Aorus B460 PRO AC | RAM -G.SKILL Ripjaw V series 4x8GB 2666MHZ | Graphics Card - Gigabyte RTX 3070  | Power Supply - Cooler Master 650w  | Storage -  Working on a new Spicy 

 

Operating System - Windows 10 Pro

Recommended use - WD Green hard drives are tested and recommended for use in PCs as secondary storage, external enclosures and other applications that require cool and quiet operation.*

*Desktop drives are not recommended for use in RAID environments, please consider using WD Red hard drives for home and small office 1-5 bay NAS systems and WD Enterprise hard drives for rackmount and >5 bay NAS systems.

This is from there amazon page. Part of thinks it isn't gonna be a problem. I had a Hitachi archive drive going for like 2 years in a nas. Might be best case scenario but I'm not sure tbh. If you are willing to upgrade then look for "server" or "nas" hard drives. Like WD Red or Seagate Ironwolf designed for NAS. I personally wouldn't really care as long as you don't have important data. I don't have any important information on my NAS so I don't really care about redundancy or anything.
