What are the NAS drives of choice at the moment?
I’ve built a new homelab server and one of its functions is going to be to be a NAS, probably with 5 or 6 drives, running RAID Z2 (aware RAID isn’t a backup, this is just part of my overall backup solution...).
Do I “need” NAS drives, or will standard drives suffice? Are NAS drives paying extra just for a “NAS” badge?
That said, I’m currently considering shucking some WD My Books, as they seem rather advantageously priced!
Any thoughts welcome...
