What Are You Doing Right Now

Telling the truth about vendors, can't have that. I think the only reason my posts about Lenovo stick around is because they're in the special spicy peppers group the majority of people can't see.

Any HD recommendations for a NAS? I was looking at these Seagates

Storage isn't that simple. What are you going to do with them? Probably warrants its own thread.

It's been YEARS since I wrote a review and they are still deleting them...

Oh I'm sure this was one of my joke posts. They have so many ridiculous or false products in the database that I did some pretty funny reviews.

They had products that were like "Bob Hoffman" where clearly some automated system had pulled in someone's notes somewhere instead of an actual product and it created a review. Why they gave points to people reviewing people, I have no idea.

Those aren't meant for running in arrays of drives, might have issues with vibration causing high seek times. I don't know off the top of my head if TLER is enabled on them or not. I'd be much more comfortable with one made to go in a NAS (TLER enabled). Seagate NAS, WE Red, or HGST (I forget the HGST models )

Yeah. Seagate NAS drives have a very low failure rate as well. WD are actually kind of crappy now. That used to not be the case

I use the red's in a old NAS haven't needed to replace any yet.

HGST is good. I have an array with 30 NL-SAS Seagates, only a single one died in 5 years, so not bad either. Don't get desktop / consumer drivers.

Or wait a bit, Seagate announced a 60 TB SSD today
