Do not buy reds. I repeat do not buy reds. ALWAYS buy cheapest option. No. You NAS isn't working 24/7. No. Your Plex library is not a small business.

OP is half right
Don't buy reds, they are bad value alot of times
Buy Ultrastars. The 14TB is $60 less than the Red versions
elaborate, why is this piece of technology related to trannyland
Heh heh. I've been doing what you suggest for years without thinking about it.
made in Thailand
just buy external harddrive and take the hdd out of it, just compared 12TB WD drives and this way it is 35% cheaper
now you know the secret for datahoarding
Ah ok.
How dumb.
I have reds and shitgate, in shitgate I can at least update fw and have more control. I also had one śhitgate DOA.
And my NASes run 24/7 NIGGER, spindown off
I've got a Red (singular).
It's loud, runs hot, and doesn't perform like I would expect from a WD drive.
However, it was the cheapest available (as in available-available: that I wouldn't have to wait a week for it to be shipped to me - it was literally on the shelf at the computer shop) at the time for 8TB.

The cringe seeder vs the based feeder
Don't buy greens either, the built in sleep function for energy saving increases power cycle count significantly which puts considerable wear on the HDD
I don't seed shit you dumb fuck I just use it constantly and spindown is bad for drives
The problem is many Blues today are actually rebranded Greens
got 10 13 year old reds, still quiet, still working, cry more
>ALWAYS buy the cheapest option
poor faggots are literally a disease

RIP long term data storage
The orginal 5200rpm ones are
Is there anything wrong with Seagate Exos X16 drives? They are the cheapest.
I mean if it's a slight increase in cost for a large increase in reliability so what? Greens are utter garbage and if is right then reds are the only option as far as WD is concerned.
I have a single WD Blue that has been rocking for 7 years straight. I don't need more. Every time I THINK I need more, I find some stupid movies to delete.
