Hi
I am planning on buying a NAS soon and would like to know which is better for drives seagate or western digital red
I am looking for something that is going to last and has good performance.

I'm a WD fan myself but evidence like from Backblaze, which uses consumer drives for commercial purposes, suggests that reliability has more to do with a specific model of a drive then manufacturer.
