I'm looking to replace my 5x 10TB WD Red Plus drives (in raidz2) in my TrueNAS Mini+ (from iXsystems).
I saw some really nicely priced recertified Seagate 28TB drives on Amazon, but can't decide if they are okay for my usage (home NAS with media, games, downloads, time machine backups, plex, etc... not a huge workload).
Do you think these are an acceptable drive for that?
I have heard they are noisy, but the NAS itself is about 6 meters away from where I sit, and my ambient sound in my loungeroom is about 45db, so I get the feeling I might not even notice the noise?
Other than that, should I be concerned that they are not specifically designed for NAS use? Backblaze's reports show that they use them, so I figure they must be okay?
Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions you have!
