Is it worth it to buy NAS specific HDDs vs Normal ones?
Is it worth it to buy NAS specific HDDs vs Normal ones?
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.
