A few months ago I made my first purchase from this website, based off glowing reviews from the commenters. Oddly enough, my first purchase was a bad hard drive! (Or maybe not odd and people here are just getting really lucky?) Inserting the hard drive just kept rebooting my system, and they told me to return it. The return process was really easy, however, and they really stood by their product. I felt confident enough that I got another hard drive after that incident and the new one has been working flawlessly.

Solid deal, thanks. I've bought so many of these over the past 6 months and had zero issues so far. I'll never shuck another WD drive again.

I bought 4 x 12TB from this seller about six weeks ago. Shipped fast. Packaged VERY WELL. No tax. And they're running great.

Backblaze does. Check out their reliability reports. Some models Seagate are definitely better than others.

Personally the 2.5 mil MTBF EXOS is the only one that interests me.

what other enterprise grade drives are reliable and more quiet than these Seagates? WD Ultrastars?

Bought a 16TB Exos X16 and it failed after one day (not from this seller -- it was brand new). Wary of Seagate at this point (I remember when Seagate was "better" than WD for a while in terms of drive failures). Have been using WD with better success this time around.

What would you say is a good amount of storage for ripping DVDs and Blurays? I'm trying to get rid of clutter but would like to rip my collection.

Would 18-36tb be a good starting point?

Everyone here should look into unraid or true nas . Nowadays no one should be just running huge capacity drives without parity

Do the math, figure 5GB per DVD, 30GB per blu-ray, and 100GB per 4k disk to be safe.

i don't have an old desktop that has enough bays to hold them, only some old laptops. i'll wait for a deal of a 2-bay qnap or something.
That's not an excuse I have an old microserver and an external 8bay hhd case connected to it

I do backups now. That was in the past. I still can't cope with the idea that a brand of drives that consistently has shitty reliability is acceptable. Frown
Try making decisions based upon data instead of anecdotes. It will serve you better!

Parity and RAID is mainly for uptime. You still need to back things up. While Parity/RAID is going to help you maybe buy time in a pinch if a drive goes down, you still need a solid backup. If your failed drives exceed your redundancy ability, then you're out of luck.

You should have 3 copies of your data, 2 of them local, and 1 offsite (321 rule). If this doesn't work for you, then at least do 1 copy of data offsite (backblaze or whatever). Personally, uptime isn't as important as simply having the data available in case something happens.

Backblaze for one. It's possible you haven't seen all of the worlds data centers and your experience might be limited in scope.

I disagree. I run multiple windows servers (business and personal), some with parity, some without. Easier to use, more versatile for me.

It's a matter of personal preference.

Windows storage spaces does most of not all of the useful things in the filesystem that the free NAD software can do.

backups are far more important and useful than parity on a dollar per dollar basis ESPECIALLY for home users.

I prefer an extra drive with a 12hr sync over an extra parity driver personally.

Yes I know how backups work. But its already proven parity with at least 2 disks will be just fine . Unless your house catches on fire.

Ntfs is not a good solution for mass file storage. Zfs or xfs is better
