With black Friday sales coming up, I’m hoping to start building a NAS for my home. I have the server and stuff, but wondering which drives to get for storage.

From everything I’ve looked at, seems like Seagate Ironwolf and WD Red seem to be highly recommended. I’m leaning towards the Ironwolf 8TB drives right now. These are retailing for $160+tax right now, which I feel is a pretty good price to get these

However, I’m wondering if any of you experienced folks have any other suggestions for me.

Thanks!

    I have 4x 10 TB WD reds white label I shucked from WD nas boxes.

    I also just picked up 2x 20 TB Seagate EXOS drives new for $200 ish on eBay sold by Newegg because I need to very rapidly find a solution for my 18TB unlimited Google drive that is going away in December.
