Seagate Exos are cheaper and perform better than Toshiba. WDs are not wprth their money over here.

I’ve got a load of WD 20TB Gold’s and haven’t had any issues

I’m mostly happy with my WD Red 18tb, when on sale they are a good deal

The Exos are cheap, enterprise Toshibas and Ultrastars are more expensive.

But HDD failure is such RNG that literally any like someone said, or the ‘‘quitest’’ haha or better say not as loud.

Literally any drive. If you don’t want to lose data, then make sure you have backups because all drives are prone to failure at some unknown point in the future.

20TB of usable storage means at least 60TB of total storage. 20TB as primary local data, 20TB as local backup, and 20TB as offsite backup.
