NAS HDD

[allex89]

I am looking to get 2 HDD NAS graded to set them in Mirror RAID.

 

What is the best (reliable) HDD.

 

My ideal size would be on the 4 TB 

 

Note:

I will put them in my Corsair 900D Case with the HOT Swap cage

I use WD Red drives, they are made for NAS use.  Good drives.

How many TB?

I have a couple of 4TB drives, but they do come in different sizes.

Personally I LOVE WD RE drives just slight level of quality above reds, a step down from gold. IMO the best price to performance AND durability WD REs. It's basically the mid tier of the Datacenter drives, but golds are EXPENSIVE.

 

Edit: Sadly the sale on 4TB REs has ended, they were going for $89 a few days ago.

I've been running six 4TB Seagate Ironwolf drives over the past several months. These are on 24/7 and mostly just use to archive data, iSCSI drives, steam, Plex media, and a place to dump data off of disks or my phone. So far so good and no complaints from me. They seem to stay cool and quiet (at least I can't hear them over the fans of my server)
