I need to order a new drive and am looking for a 20tb+ to use for Plex media. Which ones have good reputations?

    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.

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

    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.
