I’ve been buying seagate ironwolf only drives for my NAS but I’ve been wondering if it’s really worth it given that it’s a small server sitting in a corner and these drives are getting more and more expensive. What are your thoughts? Do you only go with NAS drives or anything really does the trick assuming I have a good backup strategy?
The NAS HDDs and Enterprise HDDs are superior to regular/Desktop designed ones. As for the NAS itself, I prefer a PC for its expandability, ease of servicing and for the fact that you get two devices in one, a server and a PC at the same time.
