Hard Drive Upgrade RN314 NAS
Does this NAS unit support the Seagate ST22000NT001 harddrives?
That's why I have the mirror copy of data on my computer as I do on my NAS.no need for redundancy
I am starting to download in 480p now quality is good and file size smaller.

What are your thoughts on using Seagate EXOS drives in the NAS unit compared with the Ironwolf Pro drives?
I saw some good pricing and purchased a ST14000NM001G (14 TB EXOS) back in Feb 2021. It's running jbod in an RN202, and I haven't had any issues with it. That said, this particular NAS is just used for weekly backups, so the power-on hours aren't much (829 hours).
A few months later tried to get a second one, but after two arrived DOA from Amazon I gave up and got a WD Red Plus instead. I don't think that had anything to do with Seagate, more likely an issue with how that particular batch of disks were handled/shipped after manufacture. We were of course still in the middle of the supply chain disruption caused by the pandemic back then.
Personally I have had good reliability/longevity from the Red Plus models. I haven't used Ironwolf as long, but so far they are working out equally well. So I haven't seen a need to move up to enterprise-class models. I've been just checking the price on the Red Plus and Ironwolf, and getting whatever is cheapest at the moment.
My NAS isn't constantly running sleeps most of the time until I do a manual sync from the PC now and then.
The NAS does wake up when I go into my OneDrive, don't know why as it is not point to the NAS

Do you have the OneDrive cloud service enabled on the NAS?
No, the only thing that is enabled is ReadyCloud but this morning I checked my emails using MS Outlook and saw your reply, clicked on the Re: Hard Drive Upgrade RN314 NAS and the NAS fired up

Does the NAS still have a window open to a NAS share? Or maybe a browser window for the NAS web ui?
Anything on the network that requires the NAS to respond can result in the disks waking up (since the NAS boots from the disks).
