If you we’re going to use SSD which would you use for NAS?
There are thee most popular SSD choices people make today. Most popular are Samsung SSD since now other brands offer bigger capacities then 4TB. Lately also WD and Seagate have created their NAS series SSD, WD RED and Seagate Ironwolf.
My personal choice is still Samsung, but Seagate is caching up with their health management app giving extra value for money.
