My WD Red 8 TB drives have had several failures over the years, and now I have two that are failing with bad sectors. My RS1221+ is configured in a RAID10 array.
I'm planning to increase storage from 8 to 10, 12, 14, or 16 TB drives as they fail. Haven't decided on the size, but figured I would use the opportunity to start increasing. Either as they fail or when I desperately need additional space, I'll upgrade the rest of the drives until all are the same size and the RAID size will then increase.
I'm really torn between the Seagate Exos brand of drives vs. the Synology HAT5300 drives. I'm staying away from WD as they've left a bad impression.
Does anyone have any opinions between the two that they could share to help me make a decision?
Thanks!
