I'm looking at rippping all my CD's to a NAS drive as I'll be buying a Sonos system soon. I'm pretty much decided on a "Synology DS213+ DiskStation 2 Bay High Performance Desktop NAS Server". But I need to find hard drives for it. I'm looking at 2 or 3 Tb but can't decided on a type. Leaning towards Seagate or western digital red as these are supposed to have been designed for 24/7 use in a home or office environment. Does anyone have any opinions / ideas?
As long as they are not Maxtor you should be fine, actually just checked Maxtor is now Seagate, I've had five Maxtor drives fail on me over the years, personally I try to buy Western Digital or Hitachi as Hitachi bought the old IBM drive business, saying that Western Digital have bought Hitachi now and had to sell part of it to Toshiba because of the regulators. I'd go with Western Digital.
