After the fiasco with the POS Seagate Barracude 3TB drives, I am looking for 4 4TB drives with which to create a RAID 5.
I read this article https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-reliability-stats-for-q2-2015/
and am considering HGST 4TB drives. I saw these on New Egg:

though I note that they are NAS drives...not sure if that is appropriate for my needs (a single desktop computer) and/or if I can reformat them as I need to (NTFS).
At any rate, if folks have suggestions for a good 4TB drive brand/model, that would be helpful, thanks.
