Hi everyone,
I'm looking at replacing the data drive in a small desktop server used to host database software. It's a small medical practice with 3 client machines that operate mostly 9-5. The server stays online 24/7 to do backups and for the business owners to remote in after hours for administration duties. In total, the accumulated data is about 800GB, and that's after 15 years of the business operating.
Ideally I'm after a drive that's super reliable and has the ability to report possible health issues. Noise isn't a problem.
I've seen online that the Seagate Exos and WD IronWolf are good contenders. I'm just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on these drives OR if there is something else they recommend. If I've missed anything that will help better the recommendation please let me know.
