Time to choose the heart for my upcoming home NAS.
I've been eyeing those 12TB-16TB Seagate Exos, but the "Enterprise vs NAS-specific" debate is real. One is a loud tank, the other is a relatively quiet reliable workhorse.
If you were building a 4-bay setup today, what would you trust your data to? Reliability is key, but noise levels are... a thing. I'm thinking about Exos since they're pretty reliable and cheaper.

@dima I have 4x 8TB Exos drives (waiting for new drives tomorrow), and I have 0 issues. Can't complain really.

@dima@dol.social My next NAS will be powered by Toshiba's MG09 series, my current one has two MG08. But I'm still hoping for better prices

@0mega Toshiba MG series is a solid pick! But I'm honestly nervous about waiting. With the way things are going, I'm worried we'll see prices spike even more by 2027. I'm trying to jump on the "last wagon" now before high-capacity drives become a luxury. Do you really think they'll drop, or are we just watching the end of the "cheap storage" era?
TBH I plan to buy just 2x12TB and wait a bit. Must be enough for the first time for me. -

I've been betting on 16TB HDDs but the price has nearly doubled here
