I am looking to buy a 3-4 Terabyte hard drive for my PC and I'm wondering if I should go with a NAS drive (Seagate NAS HDD ST4000VN000) or just go with a traditional Internal drive like the Seagate Desktop HDD.15 ST4000DM000.
I am aware of the uses for NAS hard drives, however I plan on *not* using this in a 24/7 environment. I just need some more good reliable storage in my PC.
The reason I ask if I should go for the NAS drive is because the ST4000DM000 is rated for TWICE as many Load/Unload cycles, FOUR times the amount of Power-On hours, and has a 3 Year Warranty instead of 2.
The price difference isn't much when you find them on sale, so that isn't an issue.
What do you guys think?
