With black Friday sales coming up, I’m hoping to start building a NAS for my home. I have the server and stuff, but wondering which drives to get for storage.

From everything I’ve looked at, seems like Seagate Ironwolf and WD Red seem to be highly recommended. I’m leaning towards the Ironwolf 8TB drives right now. These are retailing for $160+tax right now, which I feel is a pretty good price to get these

However, I’m wondering if any of you experienced folks have any other suggestions for me.

Thanks!

    I’ve got 3 WD reds with 91,500 hours on them each - that’s over 10 years.

    A good reminder I should update my backups this weekend.
