The WD Red drives are expressly for NAS usage. Also, I'm aware of the slow redistribution of data. Generally there's only 0-2 connections on the NAS I have now, I just want more room. It's mostly BD/DVD rips, so if it dies, I can recover, it just takes a while. Reduced performance for a few days or a week isn't a huge deal for me. |

Oh, I was thinking about the cheaper Seagate "Archive" drives which have really slow write speed because of that shingled technology.

It could be a huge deal when another drive fails during that week while the array is rebuilding. But if you have more hot spares it's no big deal.
