| 1466136 | 2020-01-22 04:44:00 | Hello I am looking to buy a new large internal hard drive as my present one(s) is getting a bit full. Most of my drives have been Seagate with no issues. They have several ranges Barracuda Iron Wolf Enterprise (exos) Sky Hawk They don't really say what is the difference. I just need one with fast data transfer but only 12 hour a day use. Some drives say they are NAS compatable what does that mean for me, as I don't want a NAS drive? Do they have extra connectors or are they faster or slower? I'm looking at the 12 or 14 TB size as I have a lot of data. (mainly word processing files) |

| 1466140 | 2020-01-22 22:31:00 | A Western Digital Blue drive is also a good option. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1466141 | 2020-01-22 22:41:00 | Thanks for those suggestions. I want fast data transfer and reliable. But not being used all day, but I like to leave them on 24/7 I think most of my drives have been Barracudas. I'll check them out again and the WD Blue. |

| 1466142 | 2020-01-23 21:30:00 | I want fast data transfer and reliable. . Ask your self how much you want to spend SSD is the fast & reliable option , or an Enterprise HD General Retail HD's are all pretty much average . Avoid the WD Greens WD Blues are quite reliable on average , nothing special speed wise WD Black should be faster . Will you notice the speed difference though ? shop.westerndigital.com Seagate seem to have had more issues than WD over the last few years , from comments Ive seen on forums . :-) |
