With black Friday sales coming up, I'm hoping to start building a NAS for my home. I have the server and stuff, but wondering which drives to get for storage.

From everything I've looked at, seems like Seagate Ironwolf and WD Red seem to be highly recommended. I'm leaning towards the Ironwolf 8TB drives right now. These are retailing for $160+tax right now, which I feel is a pretty good price to get these

However, I'm wondering if any of you experienced folks have any other suggestions for me.

Thanks!

Sweet! I was wondering the same thing recently! I have two WD Reds that I bought pre-Covid, but the NAS (2 bay net gear) was an end-of-life super cheap discount and I want a way to keep them running….like, can I wipe net gear and reformat the whole thing? Something I keep meaning to tinker with - but the weekend (for example) I’m likely bed ridden. My body is getting destroyed at my day iob -meh.
