Hi all. I’m looking for an 8TB HDD to store videos.
It won’t be moved around and fast access to my videos is paramount. I don’t want a long delay before they start.
I’ve done my research and seen that the best options are the Barracuda in an enclosure and the Sandisk professional G-Drive. Also the G-Drive has an Ultrastar HDD which seems to be superior?
I’m biased towards the G-Drive because it looks so slick. Price wise they cost pretty much the same.
Which one would you choose?
Edit: I don’t mind Ironwolf’s or Exos’ price which seems to be Seagate’s more premium products but I’ve read that NAS HDD are not the best for my situation. I guess that the Ultrastar in the G-Drive is rated for video transfer scenarios so basically the best quality for my need? Is this correct?
What would be Ultrastar’s standalone HDD equivalent for movie storage?
