Hi all!
I need to start replacing my 4x8TB IronWolf + 1x6TB WD Red (all CMR) with some new HDDs. So I was think to start with a new 20TB, I use them on my Windows PC always on 24/7, I use it as a Plex Server and as my PC when I don't work.
Here in Italy I can buy:
- WD RED PRO 20TB WD201KFGX at 460€
- WD HC560 20TB WUH722020BLE6L4 at 395€
Nearly about 70€ of difference between the two HDD.
Which is the best of the two HDD in terms of reliability and noise ? I use them with Plex... 3 o 4 users... so they aren't always working... actually only 2 o 3 hours per night.
Another question... I don't understand the technology used on the HC560, on the WD webpage they talk about EAMR: https://www.westerndigital.com/products/internal-drives/data-center-drives/ultrastar-dc-hc560-hdd?sku=0F38785
Is it worst or better than CMR?
Thanks in advance! :)
