The HDD and SSD Situation is Worse Than We Thought...

NASCompares just covered the current state of the storage market, and honestly, the situation with hard drives and SSDs is more complex than I realized. The video breaks down how to source drives on a budget while comparing the specific performance of Seagate Ironwolf and WD Red series hardware. There is everything from high-capacity Ironwolf drives to the WD Red Plus line, covering eight different storage models that serve different backup and server needs. It is an interesting look at the actual trade-offs between these drives for anyone trying to figure out which ones to use in their home setup.
