What drive for basic, two-drive NAS/homeserver?

Spending a few bucks more isn't a huge problem but I don't want to waste 20€.

That's it! Thanks!

WD Red for the best reliability and stability. It's designed for NAS use. Don't get the Greens, they tend to jump out of RAID arrays because of their power saving features.

but that's +28€.

and it's not a real server with two drives. do you think it's worth it?

I'd say it is because you have a lower chance of failure and a longer warranty.

Another vote for WD Red from me. If you're running them in a RAID array or if you want redundancy. If not, just go with like a WD Blue or something similar.

Hey Rheinwasser,

 

WD Red also gets my vote over the others as it is the only drive from the list that is actually designed for this purpose (as well as for RAID arrays). WD Red is a bit more pricey, but it has additional features over the others that enable it to work very cool, quiet and efficient in NAS/homeservers and it could have stable safe performance while running 24/7.
