While the price of SSDs continues to drop, the ‘old' hard drive is still the cheapest way to store a lot of data. Especially in a NAS or Mini-ITX system, where there is limited physical space you probably want a drive with as much capacity as possible...
We are starting this conclusion with the 6TB-drives. The Toshiba MD04ACA 6TB and X300 6TB offer good performance in this segment for a relatively low price, but are clearly audible with noise levels that are nearly at 40 dB(A) when idle. Nevertheless th...

The price for the 10TB hard drive is high, so if you're looking to use a number of these drives in RAID then you're going to be spending quite a bit of money. It's also a bit of a shame to see the lower capacity IronWolfs hobbled with slower data transfer...
