Will be getting a synology 4 bay nas.
my nas will run the times my PC will run, so about 12 hours or less. i will shut down the NAS when not needed. its not going to be a media server.
its only use will be backup of files. and photo backups straight from phones.
I feel like 2 TB HDD's are enough for me, so 2x4 with Raid 5 will give me 6TB of space, more than enough more me.
I saw on seagate's website than 2TB Barracuda Pro's are CMR.
If i use those, will they be fine for the long term? or should i just spend more and get the 2 TB Ironwolf?
What about WD Red? are those drives reliable now after the issue with WD pulling some scam a few years ago?
