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?
I use WD Blues with a mix of Reds for my unraid system for the past 3 years now. Haven't had any issue as of yet with any of my drives. Knock on wood thou.
