Is it worth it to buy NAS specific HDDs vs Normal ones?
Is it worth it to buy NAS specific HDDs vs Normal ones?
I've been buying seagate ironwolf only drives for my NAS but I've been wondering if it's really worth it given that it's a small server sitting in a corner and these drives are getting more and more expensive. What are your thoughts? Do you only go with NAS drives or anything really does the trick assuming I have a good backup strategy?

"NAS" in the name doesn't matter. If it's CMR and specced for 24/7 work it's fine.
of course it matters. wtf ? NAS drive will typically have additional features that are useful to have in a NAS like anti-vibration, head parking disabled, low speed idles, etc....
