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!

    Working Network Accessible Storage is done by a Virtualized TrueNAS Instance on my ProxMox Host with all Services attached to it through internal networking arrangements or direct access through MountPoints in LXC

    The TrueNAS currently has 4TB SSD Storage

    Then there’s the backup NAS with 12TB HDD Storage for slow Media Storage and Backup of working NAS files.

    My Media Streaming is attached to the 12TB NAS while Nextcloud is attached to both, for example.
