I'm pretty lost now, lol. Been a while since I bought HDDs - as in actual spinners - and there's half a million options.
Right now I have a mixture of 2, 3 and 4 tb HDDs, internal and external, in my file server. A total of around 18tb. I'm looking to get rid of the power-wasteful external drives and replace them all with internal drives.
But the choices! Reds, Blues, Purples, Wolves, Barracudas, Hawks, N300, X300, Deskstar.
My server runs 24/7 and is used for video transcoding and streaming and file backups and storage. I need at least 18-20tb, so what would be my best options here?
Thanks!
