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?

    “NAS” in the name doesn’t matter. If it’s CMR and specced for 24/7 work it’s fine.

      of course it matters. wtf ? NAS drive will typically have additional features that are useful to have in a NAS like anti-vibration, head parking disabled, low speed idles, etc…
