Hello, I have a media server that currently has a few oddball HDD's thrown in it (5TB WD Black, 6TB WD Black, 3TB Toshiba PH3300U-1I72, and a 2TB Samsung drive that is on its way out).
I would like to think future proof, and get a least another (or set) 6TB or larger size HDD. The thing is, I'm not sure which drive would be best for reliability. I don't necessarily need fast, but would like to have a long lasting drive. Looking into WD red vs black on their website didn't really help out all to much, and neither did Toshiba's website as well. Figure I'd ask around and see which brand/model lineup is designed for long term data storage and regularly viewing large file sized media.
Thank you!
