In general, I would say yes. Even if you use the same drives, it's best to source them from different vendors as well. Whether or not you trust Seagate vs WD is another story. I'm fine with either and run both in my NAS (Qnap). In the end, ALL drives will fail, it's just a matter of time. I recommend a local backup and cloud backup of all important information (three total copies).

IronWolf and IronWolf Pros are possible. It seems that most of them in the last FP deal were Exos x16 ST14000NM001G drives. That does not guarantee these will be the same.

Umm no it wasn't... EDFZ drives are from Western Digital. This is a Seagate drive.

Is mixing WD & Seagate drives in a nas a good idea to reduce chances of multiple drive failures/data loss?

I got a bunch of these last time, they're Exos x16 inside. Enterprise SATA helium filled drives. They're pretty noisy but they're quick.

Thanks, been hoping for a better deal but this is the best $/TB I've seen in a while and naturally worried they're going to be harder to come by at some point.

Good deal, but too bad, wrong brand. I need WD
After the whole WD Red SMR debacle, I'm not feeling particularly brand loyal.

Backblaze report on hard drives for reference: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/ba...-for-2020/

Seems like no real stinkers among recent high capacity HDDs in their latest report, and that includes ST14000NM001G. I would still prefer a 5400rpm drive for home use, but the price is solid.

Curious about the "hard to come by" comments.

I've been reading about superior storage tech coming down the pipe like the 580TB tape prototype from IBM/Fujifilm and SSD is slowly coming down in price, but optical drives becoming truly obsolete is only going to happen when a better storage medium has replaced it, no?

Sure more and more is moving to the cloud but there will always be demand for enterprise level on site storage, and even cloud storage requires massive server farms with actual physical storage SOMEWHERE so production and demand is still guaranteed even if the average consumer is just supporting that demand by buying the cloud storage.

What am I missing?
