Traditionally, Seagate drives aren't the most reliable. I'd go for a Western Digital drive. Here are some recommendations:

  • WD6001FZWX - WD Caviar Black 6TB
  • WD5001FZWX - WD Caviar Black 5TB
  • WD4003FZEX - WD Caviar Black 4TB

Seagate ST4000VN000 NAS = WD Red

Seagate ST6000VN0001 Enterprise NAS = WD Red Pro

Seagate ST6000NM0124 Enterprise Capacity = WD Se

 

Take your pick, but can't stress enough to buy WD. Disks are disks they all do the same thing from any brand but WD currently has better reliability in the type of disk you are looking at.

Good to know

 

 

To op: if you want seagate get an enterprise drive or some other server grade (at least I think enterprise is server grade ??) as the consumer grade stuff is meh from seagate in terms of reliability.

Thanks guys, Going with Seagate ST6000VN0001   :D

The 000 would be a better choice really.  For a much lower price, you are getting much of the same reliability of the 0001.

QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION!

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.
