Well it’s that time that I ask you all to comment with pros and cons of the disks you’re using, would you recommend the same to others looking for new disks? Each of the disk manufacturers have now rolled 2 (possibly more) of NAS drives with additional warranties etc. How old are your current disks (power on hours)? Any other pertinent/important info you might want to add.
This post is to get maximum amount of votes for disks so we can realize which hard disks are better for FreeNAS use or rather which ones are the worst and shouldn’t be brought even close to your system.
Backblaze as of 2019 has started going to bigger disks thus leaving out most of the home level consumers high and dry and with no reliable source of data. I would recommend keeping other discussions to a minimum so this post doesn’t get bloated with discussion.
I remember when I was making my first system back in 2014 there was minimum data about WD red but a lot of members did help me make up my mind.
