Recommended drives for a NAS

[spacein_vader]

in my main PC for rusty dick storage requirements I'll try & find something more reliable and not SMR.

I sincerely hope that's a typo.

If you keep losing drives, why chose RAID?
What OS/System you running?

Um bit of a misunderstanding here. The 5TB Reds were raid 1 in a 2 bay Synology NAS originally. One died ages ago and I moved the other to my main rig as general storage, so not raided.

In my main 4bay NAS I run Synology Hybrid Raid as it's easy to deal with if things go south and in the Xpenology Test NAS Ihave raid 5.

OMG! That nearly made me wet myself. Sorry that should have said rusty disk storage but I think i'll leave it just for the lolz.

, they are becoming the modern day equivalent of Hitachi DeathStars.

In full pedant mode, those were IBM Deathstars. It was a very specific fault in machines which used the drive for light workloads and was solved with a firmware fix (which was too late for one of my drives which went back under warranty). It was long fixed by the time Hitachi took them over, and as Hitachi drives they were pure awesome.

You are absolutely correct, my memory is not what it once was, apologies.

Ahh, I thought you had been using the Reds in RAID..

I'm more disappointed in myself for missing the rusty dick line tbh..
