This is a bit overkill but what the heck is everyone putting on their drives? Research papers?

don't listen to anyone. The coupon you receive for registering a WD account DOES NOT STACK with the discount of $90 that you receive instantly. If you try to use their 10% off coupon, it REPLACES the existing coupon making the item much more expensive instead of cheaper.


Buy from Amazon instead as there is no incentive to buy from WD
It stacks what are you talking about dude

I'm tempted by this but I couldn't bare to lose 14TB of data. I think the best way of avoiding that is to buy 2 and use RAID 1 - is that correct?

Or you could put 1 in your desktop and 1 in your nas, and use syncthings (more of a manual sync)

That's kind of what I do now with dual 5TB portable drives and rsync but I'm out of space. It's time to move to a NAS and this kind of storage.

Get the pro. $20 more for 5 years warranty instead of 3 and a better drive.

If you can't stand the idea of losing 14TB of data, then you need to back it up. RAID 1 won't save you from a large power surge or house fire. I lost 2 drives when the cooling fan failed and they were baked for weeks while I was on vacation. Backblaze is $130 for 2 years of unlimited backups so you can get 3 years of worry free backups for the cost of the extra drive.

No. Raid will not help you if you lose a disk. Buy 2, use 1 to back up the other.

Don't RAID 1 if you just want a primary and a backup. Have a nightly backup from one drive to the other (there are a million way to do this, I'll leave the specifics up to you). This extends the life of the backup drive and you don't have to worry about all the RAID overhead/issues.
