Hello,
I am putting together a small home server for PLEX and data backup. The question I have is what in your opinion is a decent hard drive to go with? I have read website reviews about western digital red drives and then seem pretty good but tend to have middle of the road road customer reviews on newegg and amazon. I am looking have 2 drives at least 4 terabytes each. I want to use windows 8's storage spaces to have a backup of my stuff. I have about 2.5 terabytes of movies and the rest is my graphics work back up.
I have also read that 3 terabytes or less the hard drives tend to have a poor performance.
I tend to get great information from this site so I figured I would ask this question here and be done with it so I can make my purchase.
Thank you in advance!
