G+_Ron Baker Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Fr. Robert, I need to upgrade my HDD's on my archive NAS to 2 Tb. drives. Currently I'm using 1 Tb. WD (Green). What HDD's would you chose for ths upgrade? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Brandon Bailey Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 WD Reds are a good choice, and are more suited for NAS and servers. How many more bays do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ron Baker Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 On the NAS I need to update only two bays. My other NAS (media backup) has 4 bays. I was thinking either "black" or "red". Thanks for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Brandon Bailey Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Your welcome. Reds use lower power and don't heat up as much as blacks do. I would go with the reds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Brandon Bailey Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Oh and another thing, try to replace the others with reds, you will get better performance with your other NAS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 WD RED all the way! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
