Question about WD Red
Hello... I am planning to equip a desktop PC with this disk. Idea is, the PC should just have movies stored and run quite a lot. But without RAID ! Please no questions why no NAS etc. Just answer the question, is the HD usable in a PC that should run a lot without RAID. I'm a bit confused about the SMR factor here.... Thanks a lot
Helpful answer
A NAS is nothing other than a PC in continuous operation in a somewhat narrower housing. The decisive factor for RED disks is continuous operation. So yes, it can be installed. However, I would put the OS on an SSD and you would also have to have a backup strategy in this setting to protect yourself against failures, but that has certainly already been taken into account in your considerations.
