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+.
