I usually get NAS drives. Recently noticed that WD Purples and Seagate Skyhawks are about 20-30% cheaper than Reds and Ironwolfs. Should I try getting a surveillance HDD than one for NAS? The plan is to put the new HDD in an external case for general storage (pics, docs, vids, etc). I would probably be using the drive an hour two everyday tops.
7200 RPM hard drives' advantage is the high performance. Typically, the more the hard drive RPM, the faster the hard disk. Therefore, 7200 RPM hard drives are usually faster than 5400 RPM hard drives. For a 7200 RPM hard drive, the time required for each revolution is 60 × 1000 ÷ 7200 = 8.33 milliseconds, and the average rotation latency
WD Blue Drive. WD Blue is a kind of hard drive with the blue cover as the following image shows. It looks pretty. Designed for use as primary drives in notebooks and external enclosures, this drive hands the stuff that requires a lot of storage in a snap, including high-resolution photos, 4K videos, music collections, cutting edge-edge games, and other important files.
The 12 TB to 18 TB N300 NAS Hard Drives use a helium-sealed design, achieving low power consumption while increasing storage density. Toshiba Group's laser welding technology ensures that the helium remains securely sealed inside the drive enclosure. With the environment in mind, the helium-filled N300 models minimize acoustic output to just. 377 244 210 272 381 406 355 338
