I'm looking into getting a 4th drive for my NAS and am getting hung up on the final choice, I've narrowed it down to either:
I like the HGST as they seem to be some of the most reliable drives when looking into the BackBlaze storage data, I know there are many ways to interpret the results and they're not as straightforward as some make out but the HGST drives seem to have much lower failure rates overall. They do seem to be getting discontinued in some places however which makes me question whether there are better/newer options.
The Ironwolf on the other hand seems to be a much newer drive with some nice features built in such as AgileArray which will work in nicely together with my Synology NAS as the two compnaies have made a partnership with regards to this software.
Would anyone else have a reason for either one or perhaps something completely different?
