Question Seagate FireCuda HDD or IronWolf Pro for Desktop-PC with RAID1 ?

[curly23]

Hi,
for my Desktop-PC / daily work data (RAID1) I need more space:
Seagate FireCuda HDD - ST8000DX001
Seagate IronWolf Pro - ST8000NT001
No games, no programs and no system on this partition.
Any suggestions which one would fit better for the use-case? Any Pro and Cons? Which one would you prefer?
For the last ten years I had BarraCuda Pro, but they discontinue. Do you know an official replacement for the BarraCuda Pro?

Besides the possible RAID 1, what is your actual backup situation?

Thanks for the care, there is an additional backup situation.
But any suggestions which one would fit better for the named usecase? Any Pros and Cons? Which one would you prefer?

Which one has the longer warranty?
Probably the IronWolf.

Flip a coin.

Me, I'd probably get the IronWolf Pro.
