FYI I just learned that the workload rating for drives is based on writes and not reads from our good friend Grok. If this is not the case and someone knows differently please let me know.
Workload Rating = Writes Only (Not Reads)
Workload Rating Definitions
Seagate - "Annualized Workload Rate" = Total TB written per year (reads do not count)
WD - Same — "Workload Rate = TB written/year"
Reads are unlimited.
Streaming 100 TB of movies via Plex? Doesn't count.
Copying 50 TB of new movies once per year? That's your write workload.
The Barracudas in this have a workload rating of 55 TB/year, but if you're only adding to the drives once and then reading from that point on, it should be all good for a Plex use case versus an IronWolf Pro or similar NAS certified drive.
Also per Grok:
Warranty Note: Shucking voids the external drive's 1-year warranty but activates the internal drive's full 5-year Seagate warranty (register via serial number on the drive label).
I guess I should add that these are usually stuffed with barracudas that have a high failure rate and don't have 24/7 duty cycles so use at your own risk. I'd personally spend a little more and get an enterprise or NAS drive than gamble with buying twice and going through the setup process twice and deal with the potential for lost data.
