WD Ultrastar super expensive super loud never dies

>>106970710 (OP)
The one that has a g-shock sensor

Get an SMR drive. They work the best for cold storage.

>>106970710 (OP)
I chose 16TB Toshibas. I only have 2 in a RAID1 for now but I plan on adding more and probably migrating to a RAID6.

>>106970710 (OP)
Toshiba

Generally 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.

>>106970751
which one

>>106970710 (OP)
I hate myself so Seagate

>>106971525
Exactly, none have it (that's the whole point). Use BDXL

Are the Exos better than the ironwolf pro's?

>>106970710 (OP)
Seagate. 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.

>>106970710 (OP)
Seagate because I live on donger

>>106970710 (OP)
the lowest $/tb that ends with Pro

>>106970710 (OP)
Toshiba has the best price/size + reliability combo at the moment.

>>106970710 (OP)
i like the wd reds for 10tb+

>>106971866
Exos 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

>>106972199
not much else to talk about on the consumerism board

>>106972124
Nobody cares if they are louder you idiot.

>>106972416
I 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

>>106970710 (OP)
Whatever 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.

>>106972567
Only marketing shills care about noise. It's an HDD. If you don't want noise, get an SSD retard.

>>106970710 (OP)
Western 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

>slaps magnetic fields into submission until the data just assembles on the metal disc
based

>>106970710 (OP)
Anything but Seagate really.
I got burnt with bad data loss because a new drive shit the bed. It's like trauma or something

>>106973180
what kind of shill wants me to pay 4x more per tb for ssd

>>106970710 (OP)
whatever the cheapest decommissioned enterprise drive I can find

>>106970719
fpbp

>>106970710 (OP)
Still Seagate, but I run them with redundancy because I don't trust them.

>>106970710 (OP)
Honest 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 years
I have hdd that are 17 years old and still werk

>>106974544
This, 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

>>106970719
ultra saaar
nothanks

The cheapest one atm duh

>>106970710 (OP)
I'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

>>106971866
I have a yuge exos and it runs fine but sweet fuck is it loud

>>106975101
Based. I don't care about noise because I have a big room and am always playing youtube in the background anyways.
