Hard drives designed to be used in desktop computers are intended to be used 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Why use a NAS Drive?Ī question we get often is, “Can I use the hard drive from my computer in my NAS?” We always answer it the same way, “Can you, yes, should you, NO!”Īlthough most hard drives look the same on the outside, they are very different on the inside. Whether it was an external storage device like the Seagate Backup Plus for Mac Portable Drive (read our review here), the Seagate Backup Plus Hub Desktop Drive (read or review here), or an internal hard drive like the Seagate Barracuda series for some of our first PCs, we were confident that a Seagate drive would provide the reliability we depend on.
We have been fans of Seagate drives for a long time. No matter how many, or the capacity of the drives, the Seagate IronWolf NAS Series Hard Drives deserve a spot in your NAS unit. They need to be loaded up with hard drives. Regardless of which brand or model is best for you, they all have one thing in common. We have reviewed Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices from most of the main manufacturers (read our reviews here), with more to come in the future.
