Looking to setup some mass storage for my jellyfin server. Currently have all nvmes for storage but looking to sell it off and use a small nvme cache with a mass hard drive array. The two best value options I’ve found in the UK are currently:
Toshiba MG Series 22TB – £328 (5 year warranty)
Seagate Barracuda ST24000DM001 24TB – £273 (2 year warranty)
I’m thinking of getting 5 drives. Is the extra roughly £55 per drive worth it for a 3 year warranty upgrade?
the barracuda has a workload rating of 120TB/year whisky the Toshiba is 550TB/year. I don’t think I’d even write to the drives fully in a year so I think the barracuda is fine for that. I just don’t know the most likely time for a hard drive to fail.
Thanks!
