    Yeah was planning on a full NAS with new red drives but after seeing the 14TB ones today, pulled the trigger on those instead. I know down the track when it crashes and I lose 14TB I'll wish I got the NAS with RAID 5, but hey, live in the moment :-)

      https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/572491 maybe this one? It seems they use Ultrastar DC HC520 which is better than 14T NAS.

  The 6TB WD Reds use SMR. Not a fan, rather shuck a WD Elements 10/12/14TB drive or go WD Red Plus or Red Pro.

  had to search SMR but interesting. So the Pro's don't use this?

      becomes expensive very quickly but good to know. Will not buy the SMR ones again

  Which would be recommended as a reliable, quiet, NAS drive? I currently have a 6TB Red (from the comments here, I'm assuming it's SMR, which doesn't sound ideal), but it has a fairly audible hum, and a noisy spin down - my original 4TB was whisper quiet.

  Had similar with a shucked 10TB White drive that was generally noisy.
