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?

    Grab a stack of CMR drives from serverpartdeals and you’ll be good.
    That being said I’ve run enterprise drives, and consumer drives and for home use I’ve never noticed a marked difference between the two in performance.
