You bet. 5400 RPM drives are nearly silent, run cooler and in a NAS environment are almost as fast. I have 8TB 7200 RPM drives, that are continuously 'clunking' even when they are idle, and it is annoying. The 5400 RPM drives don't do this, and they are 10 years old now.

If speed is a factor go with SSD. There is always a price/performance difference between this and the mechanical drives. Tech improved pretty well that 5400 is good enough compared to 7200 drives.

I put a WD Purple in my NVR since that is what they are designed for. I do not know the technical difference, but in a NVR, the data is being overwritten on regular intervals, the RED drives are designed for for NAS storage, where data is generally stored longer term.

I need a 4 Gb HDD for storing pictures in a desktop computer but I am set on 7200 rpms just because I don't want to wait for transfer. Are there good chances gor a sub $100 4 GB 7200 rpms drive? Or should I go with this one? Less chances of 5400 rpms failing, maybe? Thx

If you want performance, consider the 7200 RPM hard drives. However, if the goal is to store files .. for example, on a NAS or low-power server ... then 5400 RPM drives are just fine. With either speed drive transferring the files will take time, however when you go back to view/open them you won't notice the difference in speed.

These are excellent drives. I have the older 3TB models and a newer 8TB model.

There is a N300 NAS model that's 7200 rpm too but I don't know anything about those.

I lke my 7200 drives too but I'm looking into 5400 for a 5 bay enclosure. A little lower power, less heat and lower RPMs equals less wear. I can't make up my mind but I'm looking at larger drives. I need to retire some 3TBs and two of them would almost fill a 8TB.

Here's the NAS model.

This should work well for storing photos. You won't knotice a huge difference in speed between 7200 and 5400 for pictures. 5400 seems to be the sweet spot for long term reliability. I would recommend getting two and setting up a redundant raid (type 1) so your pictures are safe even if one drive goes out.

Well, if you know so much, why are you asking questions?
