If you want disks for 24/7: HGST Ultrastar (you probably can't beat their price at 2TB) WD Gold WD used to make some "enterprise grade" which, IIRC, were called RE- something, in that size. If you can still find one, you could go for that. I got two of them like 14 years ago and none of them failed yet, though I'm not using them much anymore because they're so small. (I think they are now system disks in my backup server because they're reliable and more than large enough, which is only used once in a while ... together with 6 HGST Ultrastars which I bought used years ago, also no failures yet) If you want SSDs: go for Intel. > =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0And what should I avoid l= ike flesh-eating bacteria? anything Seagate, for any use case, they die like flies WD Red tend to be annoyingly slow and their failure rate isn't so great
