These hard drives are highly recommended for always-on servers and NAS because they are specifically designed for these tasks. In addition, it will not be affected by the vibration of the rest of the hard drives that we may have on the server, because it is prepared for them. Of course, if you have a NAS with 2 or more bays, and you plan to configure the storage with some kind of RAID, our recommendation is that you buy several exactly the same hard drives, especially the same capacity, so as not to waste storage when creating the storage pool in RAID.
Remember that being from the EXOS range, we do not have at our disposal all the advantages of the Ironwolf family and the Ironwolf Pro related to the guarantee and free data recovery, as well as advanced disk monitoring software, although logically in these models we also have the typical SMART of always to detect possible failures in the hard disk, such as bad sectors, failed starts and many other errors.
