Looking for recommendation on what is most reliable
Background info:
Drive is for storing media and going into desktop tower (F.D. Define R4) in JBOD configuration running FlexRaid (FYI i have pooled drives + 1 single drive holding parity data that is calculated once a week).
Before anyone questions the configuration, I fully considered the pros/cons of this setup vs Raid 5/6 and for something as static as movie files this option give me adaqute redundancy with minimal cost and much less wear/tear on my drives.
I am leaning towards the WD Red as I have good experience with WD drives and from what I can gather the other 2 have higher failure rates and HGST runs hotter/louder.
Just wanted other experienced opinnons on these drives for mass storage.
