WD Ultrastar super expensive super loud never dies
>>106970710The one that has a g-shock sensor
Get an SMR drive. They work the best for cold storage.
>>106970710I chose 16TB Toshibas. I only have 2 in a RAID1 for now but I plan on adding more and probably migrating to a RAID6.
>>106970710ToshibaGenerally cheaper than WD or Seagate because they don't bother with fancy marketing for normalfags. I bought a couple of 22TB MG10s a few months back which have been fine in my NAS.
>>106970751which one
>>106970710I hate myself so Seagate
>>106971525Exactly, none have it (that's the whole point). Use BDXL
Are the Exos better than the ironwolf pro's?
>>106970710Seagate. I know statistically they are more likely to die, but they are less than half the cost of competitors sometimes, I've personally never had a drive due on me, and I'm doing a raid 1 anyways.
>>106970710Seagate because I live on donger
>>106970710the lowest $/tb that ends with Pro
>>106970710Toshiba has the best price/size + reliability combo at the moment.
>>106970710i like the wd reds for 10tb+
>>106971866Exos X series are usually louder and a little bit sturdier mechanically. In a home setting my guess is the helium will run out before either dies from overwork. Other Exos are nu-SMR trash.
we had essentially the same thread 3 times yesterday
>>106972199not much else to talk about on the consumerism board
>>106972124Nobody cares if they are louder you idiot.
>>106972416I do. Clearly lots of other people do or they wouldn't sell any.
shitgate never again. gave chances for like different occasions they kept shitting me up
>>106970710Whatever is cheapest per TB.It doesn't matter at the end of the day. If you're not running RAID and not doing backups, regardless of brand, you're fucked.
>>106972567Only marketing shills care about noise. It's an HDD. If you don't want noise, get an SSD retard.
>>106970710Western Digital has never died on me. Seagate has.
its crazy how much louder seagate drives are compared to wd
I go with my cock, always works. fuck off
>>106973390>slaps magnetic fields into submission until the data just assembles on the metal discbased
>>106970710Anything but Seagate really.I got burnt with bad data loss because a new drive shit the bed. It's like trauma or something
>>106973180what kind of shill wants me to pay 4x more per tb for ssd
>>106970710whatever the cheapest decommissioned enterprise drive I can find
>>106970719fpbp
>>106970710Still Seagate, but I run them with redundancy because I don't trust them.
>>106970710Honest advice here.Get your HDs from different manufacturers when you build your NAS :You'd be immune to a specific series of disks known to be faulty.
Why do you always shit on Seagate? I've had a Seagate HDD for 5 years and have never experienced any trouble
>>106974617>5 yearsI have hdd that are 17 years old and still werk
>>106974544This, or at least make sure you're getting different models if sticking to the same manufacturer.Having multiple disks failing at the same time is not fun. RAID can't save you if too many of them die at once.If same manufacturer/model, at least different lots.
>>106974854>RAID can't save you if too many of them die at once.Just build a large RAIDZ3 pool out of many individual 4 drive RAIDZ3 vdevs kek
>>106970719ultra saaarnothanks
The cheapest one atm duh
>>106970710I've had 3x 10tb WD Golds running in a NAS for 7 years. no issues yet.had one WD red cache drive die, but it was replaced for free.
"i use x cause c never died on me" means absolutely dick, user a used it as a torrent drive for over a year vs user b who put 10gb of family photos over a year both same power on time which one would you trust fir another year? picrelated is last drive i bought 250$ last week
>>106971866I have a yuge exos and it runs fine but sweet fuck is it loud
>>106975101Based. I don't care about noise because I have a big room and am always playing youtube in the background anyways.
