ReadyNAS NV+ sparc 2TB hard drive options

What are the options available these days for 2TB hard drives for a legacy ReadyNAS NV+ sparc?

 

I have read through some of posts but they all appear to be dated...

    Ignore the HCL, it hasn't been updated for years.

     

    I always recommend either a WD Red Plus or a Seagate Ironwolf.  Avoid the WD Red as it is SMR (shingled magnetic recording).  Most 2 TB desktop drives are also SMR, and should also be avoided.

     

    You can also use enterprise class, but IMO those are overkill for the NV+.
