I went into Micro Center to pick up a WD Red Pro 18TB at $379 but the salesman convinced me that Toshiba NAS drives are a better choice. I got a 22TB N300 for $419 which isn't bad for an extra $50 for an additional 4TB. I should have looked up the Amazon reviews as the rating for these units is 4.2 stars, WD is 4.3, and Seagate Ironwolfs are 4.5.
I am using the HDD in a dedicated tower with swappable 4 bays running an ancient AMD 8350 Bulldozer on a ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 AM3+ ATX mobo basically as a storage center. The tower is on only a few times a month when I need to update files. Currently it has a few WD Red 14TBs but I have filled those up. I expect to get another 22TB HDD to mirror the Toshiba but maybe I will go WD Red next time for redundancy.
What do you think about Toshiba HDDs? Are they reliable? Should I exchange it for a different drive?
