Yes, pretty much any 7200rpm drive with a decent warranty is what you want
for a desktop with a mag media drive.

The bottom of the barrel are the 5400rpm drives and the only place those
should have ever been used is in laptops.

I have bought them in the past for people with NASes that are inadequate
case sizes, and for use in external 3.5" hard drive
Cases but generally I tell people never to buy standalone NASes just
repurpose and old PC as a NAS

Ted,

Tom's Hardware recommends the Seagate Firecuda 8TB drive; I assume the 4TB
is equally good and will order from Amazon.

Thanks,

Rich
