That's an SMR drive, so I would avoid it.

A 8tb NAS would make a nice home storage solution for all your media files, not everyone is a gamer or has the need to stick a large mechanical drive in their computer and have it spinning up unnecessarily all the time.

8tb is just temporary solution

you will always need bigger storage.

I recently got a 4 bay NAS. But only previously had 2 x 4TB Red Plus drives. So this will work nicely.

That would be a Raid 1 (mirror), perfect for a home backup system for those using just for documents, and not media.

I just replaced 2 of these; if you're in Winnipeg and interested in buying used, msg me. One is 1 year old, the other is 4 months old.
