What drives do you all use for NAS?

posted 11 months ago

With black Friday sales coming up, I’m hoping to start building a NAS for my home. I have the server and stuff, but wondering which drives to get for storage.

From everything I’ve looked at, seems like Seagate Ironwolf and WD Red seem to be highly recommended. I’m leaning towards the Ironwolf 8TB drives right now. These are retailing for $160+tax right now, which I feel is a pretty good price to get these

However, I’m wondering if any of you experienced folks have any other suggestions for me.

Thanks!

I’ve got 10 12tb Seagate EXOS drives in operation right now and have also run small capacity (2-4tb) WD Red and blue and Seagate Barracuda drives. For ssds I run Samsung 870 evos.
