If i have the choice,
I'll take a new drive, not a used one that's therefore closer to death..and I'll take a drive with .2% failure over one with 4.42% failure .
For $100 more.
but whatever makes you feel better.. you still have to pay for shipping to WD or Seagate once your drive dies and they will just send you a recert anyway.
i saved over 4500.00 when i bought 30qty 18TB X18 during Black friday and have not an issue.
i will most likely sell these off in 2 years and replace them with 36TB once they are released.
Same thing goes for my 8TB CMR they need to go. I can easily replace them with 16s.
18TB has been overpriced for 2 years now. Soon we will be getting Nand HDDs that do 500MB/s
but like i said whatever you think makes you feel better. Id rather save the money towards something else
Your advice would be more useful if you clarify what your assumptions and illustrating the pros and cons. Then even people who don't have the same needs could benefit from the parts of your advice that make sense to them.
If you are personally unaware then you should probably do more research on the subject.
if you have one specific question I can answer it.
I've used them all over the past 15 years and although I am not a HUGE fan of Synology they do make a great product and offer free support (it sucks though). I use mine for Plex and file share with a simple 2 drive mirror, use cloud sync to back it up nightly to wasabi. The 718+ been flawless for nearly 3 years.

Note also that Seagate is unusual in how the drives report some SMART attributes, like raw error counts.
Also seems the anecdotes in question are from quite some time ago, so not sure "consistent" is the correct term here. From the webs you can here strong opinions about any maker, including WD. Don't trust any drive, and don't trust any system. I was hit with the Intel silicon degradation "bug" a few years ago. Could have lost the entire array due to a MB fault.
what's the best free software to auto clone (or backup) my work files during the day? I think I should be fine if it auto backs up every 12 hours. guidance needed.
Also, this one is similar quality too if 12TB option is enough? https://serverpartdeals
If it's only 4TB and for non-personal use, I'd be tempted to do cloud backup via iDrive or something.
I think OMV with Snapraid and mergerfs is ideal for me but may not be for everyone.
Anyone who says one thing is the answer for everyone is usually full of it.

Would 18-36tb be a good starting point?
