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 -----Original Message----- From: PLUG <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Rich Shepard Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2023 6:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [PLUG] Error reading files On Tue, 28 Nov 2023, Rich Shepard wrote: > I'll order a new disk today; the current one is about 4 years old. Ted, Tom's Hardware recommends the Seagate Firecuda 8TB drive; I assume the 4TB is equally good and will order from Amazon. Thanks, Rich
