Barracuda vs iron wolf
39 minutes ago, Indian pc builder said:So it’s like qlc nand and tlc for ssds?( obviously it’s not the same thing but the underlying idea is the same?)
also if I don’t really care about speed and the barracudas are less than half the price, would it be worth it?( how bad is the speed issue?)
also does seagate warranty cover data recovery ? Like I know u can get optional data recovery for wd drives but, seeing how 2 of mine just does and I didnt have data recovery on them, I’ve lost trust for wd as a company
edit: my wd data ssd dies which is why I’ve stopped trusting them
While the idea is kinda the same (more space, less speed), SMR drives should be avoided in almost all cases, especially for NAS setups, unless you absolutely know what your doing.
The video I posted previously explains why you shouldn't use them in NASs and quite how bad the speed issue is. It is worth a watch.
