Posted August 19, 2020 I am planning to upgrade my storage in my storage server and I am just wondering whether or not I should use nas drives or not. My storage server does not run 24/7 and only runs when I am awake, seeing how expensive nas drives are I am just wondering if I should use a non-nas hard drive instead. Can I have some advice on whether or not I need to continue using nas drives or should i buy non-nas drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 19, 2020 It depends how important is the data stored on your server. With a good backup strategy it shouldn't matter a lot, though some could argue that non-NAS drives could become more expensive because of their much shorter warranty.

I will recommend an NHu12s (or an NHd15 (maybe)) for your PC build. Quote or @ me @Prodigy_Smit for me to see your replies. PSU Teir List | Howdy!

Posted August 19, 2020 The NAS doesn't address the problem of a fire, flood or other destructive event since it keeps your data in one place. So you want some other backup in the cloud or a different location. I just re-use old HDD (my main rig is SSD only, so those HDD are left) in Medial PCs that are distributed in my house. So I have 3 different lcoations in the house (+ online). The chances that all 3 PCs+ my main rig get destroyed unrevoerably at once, or all 3 drives fail, are nearly nil. (Yes a an asteroid could hit my house, but then I'm either dead, or famous and rich). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
