Hello everyone.
So i am in need of hdd for my desktop pc for my direct use videos, ai trained models, 3d modeling (UE, Blender, 3ds max, Daz) assests, and steam games library backup, application setups etc. All of my current hdds are Seagate Barracuda 8Tb drives except one is 4tb and i have currently only one slot left for the hdd. I wanted a bigger drive like 14 to 18tb but as Seagate discontinued their barracuda line so currently only upto 8Tb (109usd) hdd is available. On the other hand their Ironwolf Pro has 18tb around 350usd on bestbuy. Iron wolf is a NAS drive and is constantly running and because of that its noise is also there all the time and i heard its loud enough for you to hear it. But it has better speed than barracuda hdd. So my question is, is ironwolf pro 18tb (350usd) worth it for my use and is it a better option or should i get 2 8tb barracuda drives for around 220usd which is also less than a 16tb iron wolf pro hdd. In 2 8tb hdds' case i will be swapping my 4tb drive with one as i mentioned i only have 1 port/slot available in my system and then i will be using my 4tb hdd as external hdd with usb connection for the files i don't use that often.
Also WD also doesn't have more than 8Tb drive for their barracuda eqvalent drive which is WD blue if i am not wrong. The reason i have all the seagate drives because in my experience they were/are more reliable than WD and Toshiba as i have had bad experiences multiple times with wd and Toshiba internal hdds specially with WD. I have multiple wd external passport/pocket drives though and they are great.
I will really appreciate the help guys, thanks.
