[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1883287, member: 110816"] There aren't that many manufacturers out there other than WD, Samsung and maybe Hitachi if they're still in this business. A lot of them also only make SSDs now. However, I'm weary of recommending an SSD fo pure backup purposes since you'll exhaust the erase cycle very quickly and end up with a SSD that won't hold the data, so for frequent erasures, spinning disks are the best. I'm running 4 WB Red NAS drives in my NAS and they replaced a set of WD drives before that were smaller and developed SMART failures after a few years of usage. My current set is from 2018 and still performing well. I'd expect to have to begin doing replacements in an other year or two. [/QUOTE]
