I'm about to purchase a pair of 8TB Archive Drives that I can use for raid in a XPEnology Plex Media Server. These drives should be fine for this purpose (despite labelled as not good for raid) because they will not be writing very often, and when doing so will be in fairly steady blocks.
Does anybody have any advice/tips for maintaining decent speeds/long life with these drives?
For example, I have read that it is best to have a separate non-archive hard drive to download torrents to, then have them copy across to the archive drives to prevent random write or something rather
