What's the difference between an NAS SATA drive and a regular SATA drive? Don't they both just plug in to an NAS bay?
I see that article describes the WD colour chart logic but what about other SATA drives? If I'm setting up my NAS enclosure would it be safe enough to use most SATA drives?
"safe enough"?
Any SATA drive will work.
Reliability (relative to other drives designed for NAS operation) will be lower.
Data retention also depends if you're planning on running RAID, and if so what type.Not going to get into it here, but short version… yes, any SATA drive will work in a NAS enclosure. It's the 24/7 operation that'll eventually catch up with you. If the data isn't that important and you back up on a regular basis, run cheaper drives. cost v reliability (but even then there's no guarantees).
@UFO: Thanks, that better answers my question.
I don't understand much about NAS and not sure about RAID so I'll have to do some research@JTTheMan: No worries. I've got a media server at home, and in the 4 NAS drive slots I've got 4 of these Reds sitting in there. No RAID, and not a stack of users accessing the data at any one time, so I'm happy to "risk it" as I've got the drives backed up anyway. If one fails I'll simply buy a new drive and put the back up data on it.
But over time drives fail and data gets corrupted. As long as you have some form of redundancy that suits your purpose and budget, there's no wrong way to do it.
I went for the better drives for a little more reassurance, but that's all it is.
now thats a good price
DAMN !!! I am too late to jump on the wagon !!
