SEAGATE/WD Surveillance HDDs

Hi there,

 

I've been running 4 x 3TB SEAGATE NAS drives for the last few years, and with one drive now starting to show errors (32) after 3.6 years of use, I'm doing my research for when I need to replace one or more of them.

 

Can/should you use the Surveillance drives in a NAS?  Or should I just stick to NAS drives?

 

(SEAGATE Skyhawk vs WD Purple)

  • Skyhawk and WD Purple drives are based on the NAS-purposed models, and are also on the HCL for the RN104.

     

    So I think they'd be fine.
