I want to by around 6 drives to add to my nas. I was waiting for black Friday sales but they only have modest discounts, recertified drives on ebay seems more enticing

what do you think?

    Is exos considered reliable? Backblaze reports in the past have always had seagate in dead last.

      Exos aren’t inherently bad, I believe it is always going to be down to the specific model number as in their latest drive stat blog for q3, one model of 14tb exo had a ~6% failure rate, while the other had ~1.3% failure rate.

        Ya i’m not touching seagate then.

        I’ve run WD drives for like 25 years with 0 failures.
