>Seagate
Wait until the easystore 8tb is on sale again, because it usually always is
Aaron Green
Nah, get the Best Buy WD's with Reds in them.
Isaac Long
You'd be better off buying a bunch of smaller disks that are like 1-2TB a piece. I've learned the hard way not to put all my eggs in one basket. But for $150? Fuck yeah, buy a few those things.

Seagate
Can't imagine 8TBs of data loss all at once
Aiden Green
Use RAID10.
William Baker
Have few of these. for storage they are best thing.

>expert installation
What happens when I select this?
Jackson Ward
enclosure is shit. had to take mine out of the enclosure because it was randomly resetting and causing issues.
Thomas Perez
an "expert" goes to your house and "installs" it for you
Grayson Watson
Make sure to buy the expert installation, too
Tyler Roberts

Anthony Sanchez
This?
Andrew Fisher
I think that's the one, they're good b/c they're supposed to have wd nas red's in them or relabled reds with white labels. I bought two of them for $140 each and put them in a synology nas raid 1
Hudson Gonzalez
The one I bought had a red

Reddit actually has a thorough breakdown of these
Basically it's recommended to buy them in-store so you can check the serial number on them.
>Yes, the initial batches were bonafide 8TB reds
>Majority of them are White lebeled Reds, however some have more cache than others
>Users also reported having issues with the white label drives on older SATA ports
>So the gist is, you buy them in-store and so you can return them if you don't get the serial number you want

Never understood why Samsung was popular--the one Samsung that I had which was the go-to for every data hoarder was so fucking loud that it caused my whole case to shudder--never had a drive do that. Out of all the drives that I previously had, it was the only drive I ever voluntarily discarded because the negligible increase in performance wasn't worth the additional noise
Ryan Gomez
Yeah
Blake King
You mean cop
Luis White
The most reliable is HGST.

You haven't learned jack shit, otherwise you wouldn't think fiddling around with disk sizes to get the best reliability is a valid substitute for backups.
Gavin Gutierrez
