I've used Seagate and Western Digital drives over the years, with price being a major factor in deciding which drives to use in a particular build if the system is installed together. On this particular build (UNRAID NAS), Seagate was the clear winner. UNRAID was chosen for this build because it serves two purposes: as a NAS and as a hypervisor for VMs and Docker containers; Additionally, setting up bonded 10 Gigabit connections is fairly easy and requires almost no configuration. For parts: - MSI Godlike MEG x570 - AMD 3900x (12 cores / 24 threads) - 128GB Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX (overclocked to 3200MHz) - 16 x 1TB Samsung 860 EVO SSDs - 8 x 8TB Seagate IronWolf HDDs - 2 x Intel 10Gb Ethernet adapter (linked) - MegaRaid 9305-24i HBA (connecting all drives 24x) - Radeon VII GPU All Seagate IronWolf drives were warranty tested and returned as expected (full warranty). This was a little risky as I've seen a number of stories where OEM drives ship in addition to drives that are just out of warranty - I'm happy to confirm that's not the case. Seagate hard drives work great and are already 20% full. They were extremely reliable and fast (for standard hard drives) and I'll be looking at Seagate if I plan to add storage in the coming months.
