Efmprof

Hi everyone! I’m looking for reliable 4TB drive for my NAS. I heard about HGST, but it’s nearly impossible to get them in my country, so I’m choosing between WD Red EFRX (not SMR) and Ironwolf. Do you have any thoughts? Which one should I buy? Thanks!

I've just read reviews about Ironwols on a website of my local store... About 15% of buyers have problems with them. Any thoughts?

I've heard about the problem with WD Reds, but I also found out this only applies to "EFAX" and I wanted to use "EFRX". Anyway, thanks for your suggestion, I'll consider it. UPD: Changed: PSU to "be quite! SYSTEM POWER 9 500W [BN246]", RAM to "Kingston HyperX FURY Black 2x8 GB" Added: Crucial BX500 [CT240BX500SSD1] for VMs

Thanks for the advice. Yeah, I wondered about RAM too. I wasn't sure how much I needed and decided to go with 8 gigs thinking that any time I add more.

Hi guys! I'm planning to assemble my first Unraid Server and I need your advice! It's going to be a family photo/video storage. At the same time I want to use Plex, HomeAssistant, PiHole, OpenVPN, one or two VMs and host several sites on it (Just for myself. There won't be any traffic.) Current build: CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 3200G MB: ASRock Fatal1ty B450 Gaming K4 (the cheapest one) RAM: Goodram IRDM X 2x4GB Kingston HyperX FURY Black [HX426C16FB3K2/16] 2x8 GB PSU: be quiet! Pure Power 11 500W [BN293] be quite! SYSTEM POWER 9 500W [BN246] HDs: 4xWD Red [WD40EFRX] (2 of them will be Parity disks) SSD for VMs etc.: Crucial BX500 [CT240BX500SSD1] (!!! I know about eBay, but the shipping cost to my country is insane, so I'm looking for what I can buy in an ordinary computer store) Do you have any thoughts about it? Isn't the CPU too powerful for my needs? Shall I look towards something like G5900?
