I am upgrading the two disks in my HP Microserver. I am considering WD Red Plus or Pro either 6TB or 8TB, Raid 1 config. Reading comments from ~6 years ago the overwhelming feeling is that they are junk. Recent reviews indicate they are fairly good. What is the real truth? What seagate drives are equivalent/better? Baracuda, Ironwolf?

This is for a home NAS without heavy demand, so 5400 RPM is OK, Reliability/longevity is most/more desirable. Thoughts please?
